MOT - Brake Pads and Disks help

[Andy_con]

took my car to Ren-o-tech in chelmsford today for a service and MOT.

everything on the car is fine except the pads and disks.

apparently i need new disks and pads all round!!

front pads are 90% worn with only 1.5mm left and the rears are 90% worn with 1mm left.

getting them changed isnt a big deal, its just my MOT runs out tomorrow and the chances of me getting the stuff i want by then is 0.

but ive also been told my disks are warn and ridged and they need replacing.

ill get some pics later when i get home as im still not 100% about that.

i made a post a little while ago about getting some new pads -

if i do actually need some new disks what would be a good option for uprating the pads and disks as a whole??

ive currently got standardc disks and green stuff pads and they are shocking.

cheers

Best bet would be Brembo HC's with DS2500's. Wont find many arguing about that.

[Andy_con]

anyone know what these Maxtorq Group N 280mm are like?

they seem a good price, but are they better than standard?

ok the car passed its MOT just, but i got an advisory note saying the pads and disks need changing.

now pete from auto-nation said the rear disks and pads dont need upgrading as they only do 25% of the braking.

but ren-o-tech in chelmsford said if you uprate the front pads you should uprate the back to. otherwise you get uneven braking and the back end can wobble.

any advice please?

rubbish, uprate the fronts, leave the rears 100% stock

 

[Andy_con]

oh ok thanks for the advice
