Resonable priced pads which last for heavy braking with grooved discs.

I think we can all say that the standard brakes arent always the best. If im wrong then please correct !!!

Your recommendations please smileys/smiley2.gif

I have green stuff pads and I think they are very good in my opinion. Tempted to try some more when they need changing but might just stick with these as I'm pleased with them. smileys/smiley4.gif

Why not red stuff though???

I am a very heavy braker and the greenstuff sound like they wear down to quick.

Mintex C-Tech racing pads, come in all different compounds. Have heard really bad things about green stuff.

My dad put some in his 205 GTi and they caught on fire!

Mintex for me too! (only because we stock them where i work smileys/smiley17.gif )

pads where about £40 per set of pads mate,if you spoke to g.s motorsport theyd sort you out.heard bad things bout green,especially the discs,apparently warp???
remember reding somewhere that the best set-up that was tested was green stuff pads and black diamond combi discs.
