just some plain EBC or ATE discs i reckon - or even go OEM (though I think ATE are the OEM suppliers)

I'm tempted to try the redstuff for the fronts on mine - the Mintex i currently got are rubbish

yea was a thread on here the otherday and someone said that the red stuff pads are good will try them then.

so you dont recommend the mintex.
