I think the ones you linked would be real good. People have different opinions on many different pad/disc combo, you will just have to find ones that work for you. Saying that I feel you could probably get a decent set of discs and pads for less than £100!  :smiley:

i got drilled and grooved all round with mintex pads and if im honest they are no better than the mintex discs i had before them these just look pretty behind the wheels  :smiley: so unless going for the whole big setup like 4pots etc i wouldnt bother mate  :wink:

I would stick with standard discs and pads.
