depends what your use is, track road, "fast road"
EBC Yellow stuff have been good to me for a few years, i've not overheated them.
KamRacing's CL brake fluid is worth the purchase too IMO.

The 306 Gti brakes are overkill for a road going saxo anyway in my opinion, so I'd just stick to a stock Mintex replacement.

Unless you're car is a 200bhp turbo'd effort of course.

Unipart discs. Pad is personal choice. Yellow stuff are well priced and decent

If its a road car.. Standard oem replacement or mild fast road upgrade like Mintex 1144

Hate to steal your thread burt BUT what's a good cheapish pad to use on a track day?
I'm either gonna put pads in when I go on track or use them for road and track recommendations would be much welcomed.

There is no such thing as "cheap" for a trackday as you don't want to get brake fade in an apex with a brand new Ultima GTR infront of you!

But to be fair, Yellow Stuff are reasonably priced and are very good.

Well what I meant was a cheap capable pad don't want or need to go spending way too much (will be my first track day and im not a pro so dont need pro equipment,when I dont need to so was seeing what u guys use through experience there are always tiers of expense and performance gain which generally go hand in hand.
