SVA and brake pads

Hi, just put my Z through its SVA, it failed, actually on several stupid things, how about the front indicators are no good because they cant be seen at a 45 degre angle from the opposite side to which they are flashing??? As if it matters. Solution? to pack they out a bit so they can be seen. (And of course remove the packing when its passed.)

If any one wnats some recent experience on the SVA just drop me a line.

Brakes, it failed because with the engine off and the servo empty at a certain pedal pressure it only had 28% of some figure they came up with, so I need new pads, apparently Jap ones are harder and so need a touch more effort.

What do you guys suggest? make, type, and cost and from where please. I need to do front and back. The brakes with the engine on were good.

Also, the UK clocks gave an error of 2mph down, they said this was very good.

Thanks
