Hi,
I have been looking at the 197s / 200s for a while and decided to take the plunge!
Well the brakes don't seem to be particularly sharp, especially considering what they are. The rear pads and discs had been changed just before I bought the car (Bosch pads) and the front still look like they have a lot of life left in them. Brake pedal goes fairly firm before starting the engine so I assume they're bled ok.
Thinking of taking it to the garage as it is still in warranty and seeing what they think, it's hard for me to know how good they should be tbf..
They do work, just don't seem that good. Maybe it's the long travel of the pedal that makes them feel a bit spongey..
