Cheers bud, insurance is reasonable for 19. What's the deal with the greenstuff? Any recommendation for replacement? Thanks

I know you cant compare one persons insurance to another, but how much have you paid mate?

i really like these.

yours looks lovely

Spanky · 8th September 2011, 19:27

well my mam had them on the MG ZR with the EBC discs an they just faded like fook and didnt grip well at all!!

i was scared of them tbh they wer that bad, even standard is better!!

personally i have never used anything but standard but have heard great stuff about mintex and the EBC redstuff pads are supposed to be great.

im going for the EBC yellow stuff and EBC discs next though, they rated to over 1000degrees, dont think ill see much fade then haha.

Thanks dude, really cant express how good the paintwork is for a 10 year old car. It used to be the Seat demo vehicle

Im paying £1280 per year fully comp

Cheers for the idea, yea the Mintex are highly rated, I have no idea what the green stuff is for mind. Honestly I drive slower than my grandad 90% of the time, I'm such a fuel whore I hardly have to use my brakes

Why have a pretty quick car then drive like an old man? lol

I had a look at these but thought insurance would destroy me for it so turned away.

Looks nice though

especially in black

Jay_ · 8th September 2011, 21:47

Looks nice!

I don't get all the bitching about green stuff. I've got them as my front pads and they are considerably better than OEM!

Tom5190 · 8th September 2011, 23:27

Looks good man, id definatly do away with the green stuff when the time comes to change them, ferrodo pads ftw! gotta get some trim care on the bottom plastics.

blackie_2k5 · 9th September 2011, 01:06

love these in red, black is nice too, but needs diff wheels to set it off IMO

get a 20vT banged in and your onto a winner

seen a few of these running the above with 400+bhp

noiiiiiiiceeeeeeeee

Got the power when I want it but I drive like an old man all the time anyway. Insurance was very reasonable

Team Dynamics are the perfect wheels for them!

Looked at some red Ibiza's actually, doubt it will see any more power though tbh

I've had mine hot enough to be smoking... And they are fine. Why would such a reputable company make a shit brake pad?

ABF inside y0

Just going from experience pal

also i was reading on one of the websites which sells these pads (cant seem to find it!) but was saying they are best in kit cars etc

Jay_ · 10th September 2011, 16:16

Fair enough!

Can't argue with that

Gave the car a hardcore detail today including the engine bay, absolutely minted now. Also sprayed the wipers black, fitted some LED side lights, fitted the GTI badge, put on some dice dust caps and a few random stickers. Not entirely sold on them yet. Also got some xenon bulbs on the way.
