I have standard discs and pads on the rear, as long as they are in good condition it really dont matter.

On the front i have put some good discs and pads, brembo max discs and green stuff pads, they work well together.

The pads are known for not lasting long, but i have had mine on about 15k and they are ok (lot of motorway miles)

I would suggest just putting a good set on the front, and rears standard. Rears dont do a lot of the breaking unless you have a lot of weight in the rear.

ok cool were's best place to buy the disc and pads u got!? ive never run anything on any of my cars but stanards discs and pads!?

I bought mine from GSF. Its just a normal motorfactors shop. I dont think Euro Car parts do those exact discs and pads.
