what brakes for 172?

[Martin_172]

bought my car from a toyota dealer with new pads all round and new front disks but the're unipart crap squeel like a piggy and fade after using them once or twice.

they also kick out MEGA ammounts of dust.

i had black diamond drilled and grooved front disks and GreenStuff pads on my wee 1.2 and was very impressed so wouldnt mind using green stuff pads again due to the low brake dust they kicked out.

but whats everyone using these days?

was thinking green stuff and brembo max disks?

most people use ds2500 pads

brembo disks and ebc pads another option recommendable , what i'm aquiring atm

I have Brembo disks and greenstuff pads, they worked well till i took them to the ring, it seems to have killed them, now grind like mad. My mates did simular on his mini and he's not tracked it or anything.

Max discs and ds2500 pads. Go for Hc discs if you want less brake dust.

I use brembo discs, EBC Greenstuff pads (new compound), goodridge braided lines and HT fluid, works for me.

Seems a workable combination, wheels wipe clean after heavy use.

I have OEM discs and EBC green. Not over impressed.

ive always used standard pads with Brembo High Carbon discs... they work fine.

How much is a set of OEM pads, might bin my greenstuff ones.

my greenstuff pads took mega hard abuse on fast road and track, even had to replace the disks due to them cracking (common problem on drilled disks)

but the 1.2 was braking hard from 100 odd mph not 135! with more weight!

think around the 45 quid mark
