Reccomended pads for an 8v GTi?

[Ben Lessani]

Hello guys and girls,

My front pads are boned and I need some new ones, I've never had uprated pads, I've always just run cheapo GSF ones as they do the trick.

Now its replacement time, I want to upgrade a little. Can anyone recommend any at a good price, I've found these genuine ones on eBay, so they are the benchmark.

But I don't want ones that squeal!

TBH, if the ones you are using are up to the job, then why change? You can fit green stuff pads. They are up amongst the best, but they do shed more dust and you will need to keep on top of your wheel cleaning, especially if you have alloys.

Well, this is the first time I've changed the pads in about 5 years!

Dusty pads are a no no, I'd rather crash into another car to slow me down than clean my alloys weekly!

Guess that's a no go for the green stuff then  And they wear out really quick..

Only experience of uprated pads i've had are the Pagid "fast road" from gsf, felt good to me.
