Brake Pads - Non Sport

[Bodge!]

Hello!

After a set of new brake pads for my 1600 16v mk2 ph2

Suggestions please

It doesnt see track days, and i drive like a old lady in the wet!!

Something normal like a Textar/Bosch brake pad will be fine. For peace of mind buy an OE quality pad and it's happy days.

Mintex ones do it for me.

£44.95 for disks and pads IIRC.

There's a local motor factors in town, gonna give them a bell in the morning!

Discs im going get from K-Tec, as there the ones from the kit on their site.

which ones?

if you just want some standard stuff. go for brembo oe discs and a set of oe pads.

can't go wrong with that set up on a non sport imo.

Halfords Ferodo pads, Where somthing like £19.99.

Improoved braking no end. Feeling like you wont stop is a horrible feeling (with OEM copys, Cant remeber the name)

How come you want them if as you say in the OP 'drive like a granny' and 'not doing track days'?

Seems like a bit of a waste of money in my eyes.

Fancied treating myself
I do chuck it about in the dry, had a small accident in the wet so am now super cautious

 

[maynard]

I guess it's up to you at end of the day!
