I want to replace my discs and pads.
I just want the standard size, is there a disc which is vented, grooved and drilled which you recommend ?
Also pads can you recommend any that dont create a load of brake dust?
Thanks in advance :wink:

bit of info here (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=87778.0)

My mintex disc and pad set up with 288 discs is nice, but the pads are abit of a let down (under intense driving), find the dust alot less than the VW disc and pads under normal driving.

Excuse my ignorance....
So all you replcaed was discs and pads everything else is standard.
Obviously I'll upgrade the fluid and put goodridge hoses on :wink:

Goodbridge front and rear hose kit (brillaint no spongy) followed by some castrol brake fluided, cant remember the name but it has a higher boiling point than the standard stuff, it holds of very well, but the pads start to smoke after intense driving, at first I thought the engine was on fire after a hammering session. Heard Ferrado pads are spot on :afro:
Black diamond has a mixed review, more negatives from my friends, had a friend who took them to the nurburgring (drilled ones), two laps latter on they cracked, the clutches also don't have great feedback from what I've heard. Similar nonsense and feedback I have heard from all the coloured stuff
Hopefully people can get you some more feedback and experiences from different combinations.

Mine didn't when I got it and I converted it to PAS it spoilt the car.
My E type doesn't have a PAS but it's a 1962 car
