Title: Front Discs & Pads
Post by: pridders on 25 November 2008, 17:00

Hi All,

I am sure this has been discussed many times before but after a few searches I couldn’t find anything.

I need my front discs and pads changing. Do I stick with stock or is there an alternative that is not a lot more expensive? I don’t want to be spending too much, the stock discs and pads seem ok to me for what I use them for although I do have revo stage 1 so a little more stopping power would help!

The best for you would be to buy 370mm Porsche-system cross-drilled and slotted 8-piston break kit.
If you have some more cash - get carbon-fiber kit from say RS6.

Thanks for that Mat, They look in the region of £80.

So do you still have stock Discs with these pads? Do you notice much difference?
