Just fitted BREMBO vented/dimpled/grooved disc and BREMBO brake pads to my mrk3 hatch they are brilliant !

 

Just buy OE discs and fit Mintex pads, cheap, easy and good results.

 

I've got a code for ECP and tempted to get the pagid discs and pads for just over £60

The brembo drilled/grooved pads and discs are circa £150 arent they?

Unless you are running silly power, the OEM stuff will be fine. The only non OE pads ive ever run were some ferodo ds2500's in my GTi-6. Werent great from cold, but bloody awesome when warm. Having said that, it wasa car that needed them. OEM brakes were very good. These were better, once warm. OEM stuff was better from cold. HAving said that, the GTi-6 had discs like bin lids anyway.....

 

Mintex all the way, run them on all our cars here, fit and forget as such, used Mintex for years now and never had a problem.

 

i'd say mintex too, but i do see a lot of apec braking stuff behind the parts counter at ford... i have had front apec discs/pads on since april, and no probs here... price wise they weren't bad either (i got from a motor factors)

 

I fitted mintex discs and pads to my brothers st220 last year and I have used mintex on the last estate the wife had. But after 18 months slight shake through steering wheel when braking. I know Mintex have a good reputation but I'm considering other brands.

 

For me I've used Mintex on the rear, but since doing the ASBO upgrade I've got Apec on the front. To me it's seems to be all standard kit but I also Goodridge hoses fitted as well.

 

Fitted pagid discs and pads this morning with a full flush/bleed of the system.

Pagid discs come with a protective coating so hopefully no more rusty edges and centres.

Start to finish took me just over 2 hours. 20 minutes of that was waiting for the wife to get new brake fluid. Was lucky that neither disc was corroded on.

At the mo eurocarparts are offering 30% off pagid brakes. (Code is pagid30)

 

I got mintex pads and discs front and back for about £120
