Ess, how much does your set up cost?
Ive got a set of Pagid to go on today, next set will be new discs so I have time to save up  :wink:
Deffo agree on the ebc stuff, which is where I was coming from and not wanting to waste any more money based on that.

Not idea, sorry.
I had the callipers/carriers laying about from my S3, I machined the spacers and I've been swapping pads about for 10 years+.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....

Replaced my ebc green stuff's with pagid this afternoon, found both caliper side pads to have a crack right through the friction material.
Not sure if i like the idea of the material breaking up under breaking but new pads now so onwards and upwards :cool:

Will post some pics later

I hate greenstuff. Cooked them to easily. But they are good for brake dust.
 I'll be buying a set for my gti as I don't drive it fast, and cleaning 120 bolts can drive you mad doing it twice a week.

Bought a set of ds2500s from demon thieves today, to be fair they were the same price as Camskill so I dont feel too raped.

I had them in my impreza and apart from the extreme brake dust they were superb in use
