in need of new brakes?

[tinsleygareth]

hey guys, few questions for ya.
im in need of new brake pads and i want to change my discs aswell so i give the new pads the best chance of seating properly.
so what do i go for?
just stick with manufacturers parts or go aftermarket?
please give me opionions on what you guys have done in this situation and some ideas of what set ups you've used.

i'm in the same situation i've been looking at the EBC range but as said on here before the standard set-up is great as standard

The std set up is good, I have gone for the Brembo HC discs with DS pads from K-Tech as that seemed to get recomended alot on here.

would v6 brakes not fit? they would look cool behind the wheels.

 

[SandroWTBR]

ive got brembo discs up front and ferodo pads and standard items on the back. good enough for the road.

would they not be bigger discs at the rear etc? :S

 

[MoRpH3uS]

I'd say GrN discs (if available in UK), and EBC Redstuff

cheers, i am thinking of just running some brembo hc discs and a standard set of pads, but then again they have the brembo hc grooved with the pagid pads are supposed to be a good set up aswell

 

[Dblock]

no what if you put v6 calipers at the front.

The pagids are very aggressive and will destroy your wheels!

I just fitted a set of HC's and Ferrodo DS2500 pads last night to replace my Brembo Maxi's and standard pads.

If you are not going to be hitting the track I would go down the route of standard dics and pads with braided hoses they are very very good.

Like i said yesterday.

DS2500 pads, Brembo HC discs and goodridge braided lines.
