Title: Brake pads
Post by: pryda on 12 June 2013, 19:47

Looking to replace my brake pads shortly. Thinking of picking up a set of Bosch at £55 delivered for all 4 corners, unless anyone has any other recommendations?

cheers

Yeah bosh pads have always been decent for me....they are better than Mintex , as they always seem to throw alot of brake dust up....Have you looked at any Textar Pads?

PS: £55 delivered, tats a great price, where's the link to that?

Bosch are good, I have also found APEC not bad for the money

thanks for all the comments guys.

I have used Mintex in the past on my mk4. but considering my mk6 costly *slightly* more, I don't think there's any point in cutting corners to save a little money. Looks like I'll be picking up a set of Bosch.

Do those Bosch ones fit the mk6? It doesn't list them in the does this fit your car?

Eurocarparts have 35% off pads and discs this weekend

And aren't the ds2500 listed as not for road use.

Mintex M1144 are a great pad, ds2500 equivalent but 2/3rds the price, ran 3 sets of them on my ed30 at the ring/trackdays and they were excellent  :smiley:

MDB2604 for the 312mm gti setup and MDB2677 for the S3/R32 345s iirc
