Greens are usually found coating your wheels, they're too soft and only rated to 200bhp

Which front pads would be best if you've only about £50 spare?

OEM ones if they're around £50. Cheap performance pads are a false economy.

Ivor they're £93 Plus vat for the pads...Not £60  :sad:


The reds are 57+vat & the yellows are: please ring.  Sorry, mate - it was about a year a go when I got mine, but there was about a tenner difference between the 2 IIRC.

There's no way I would even contemplate paying over £100 just for some pads  :smiley:

The DS2500's are awesome, but I begrudge (or the missus does, lol. :P) paying £130 for a set of front pads.  They are better than the yellows, but I don't really think they're TWICE as good, as the price would have you assume (IMO). ;)
