312mm discs, recommendations?
« on: 25 August 2008, 23:02 »
I'm looking for some 312mm discs for the mk4, and some new pads to go along with them.  Is it the redstuff pads that produce no brake dust?  Almost forgot, cheap please.  Around £100 - £150 mark for the lot, if that's possible.

Recommendations?

nope - got my rear pads from Jabba (IIRC) for £22  :smiley:  fronts are more expensive but then they do most of the work - approx £45 i think

Ahh I see, mintex pads, I'll have some of them.  Anyone got a link to somewhere selling them?  What about discs?
