Default Low-Cost brake mods show improvement

Recently replaced my stock brake pads with Akebono ceramic pads. Also replaced the rubber caliper pins (slider bushings) with solid brass ones from Tyrolsport. Flushed and refilled the sytem with Motul fluid.

Overall I can report better grab, less fade, no squeal, and less dust. It is by no means like adding a big brake kit, but you can definitely feel an improvement and God knows, we can all use an improvement to those stock brakes...

Put some SS lines in there too, they will make it feel more solid.
