Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 19 February 2009, 11:56: Pads are quite reasonable (same pads for 288 or 312 mm set-up)

Red stuff front >>> https://sslrelay.com/buypartsby.co.uk/ebc-brakes/ebc-pads-display-2.php?recordID=9031

Carriers are better sourced S/H, TBH. Expect to pay about £80. :afro:

No, not really - I just wouldn't recommend better pads on the rear eg. yellowstuff, with standard front pads, for example.

If you want to spend a few extra quid & get the top ones (yellow), then search on the Audi S3 1.8T. ;)

You'll notice that the part of the EBC part No. stays the same, it's just the first digit & last letter that changes with the different colours (grades). eg. DP31330C for red, & DP41330R for yellow. :afro:
