Brake discs/pads
« on: 05 April 2013, 16:43 »
I've just ordered new axle bushes, new top shocker mounts (FEBI) all 4 corners.

Once i get them fitted, i'm getting new toyo tyres all way round and taking that car for full caster/camber tracking as it will need it  :grin:

I'm thinkng i may aswell change the discs/pads front & rear. Front discs have got a lip on them, rear are completely shot.

Where will be the best place to buy new discs/pads from?

Its a 1998 Golf MK3 GTI.

Apparently the main dealers are reasonably priced on braking consumables now days.

Low cost on Bradford road mate, just get a Mintex set up, not expensive at all and more than enough for standard GTI set ups
