Brembo Conversion Is It Worth It On A TDV8

The brakes on my 2010 TDV8 have never inspired confidence and lack low speed modulation. I am still on the original front pads and discs so I have had no need to spend money on brake maintenance. Is it worth changing to the Brembo calipers and discs ie will I see a substantial improvement in braking in my normal driving which is mostly low speed stop start city use.

More aggressive pads are your best option to improve brakes for low speed driving. See if you can buy mintex 1144s for your sport. Caliper rebuild or even just a bleed might also help, depending when they were last bled.
