Which brakes
« on: 05 May 2009, 15:34 »
I've got a price for standards £35 each for discs & £20 for pads.

But have found updated ones for £40 pads & £50 discs.

Is it worth buying updated pads & discs on a 2.0 8v?

If so what do you guys recomend?

Budget ideally around £100-150. After value really

you could get greenstuff pads and brembo vented discs for that price from GSF

i've popped them on my 8v and they look the biz and have bedded in nicely, better than my old ones thats for sure

gsf standard discs ftw. lots of people have different opinions on pads, guess its just down to personal preference.

i think uprated discs are a waste of time for the price you pay.
