Title: Help me decide which discs to go for....
Post by: Lewo on October 22, 2016, 09:42:32 pm

For a standard set up. Ideally would like to have groove or c hook but the ECP Brembos are cheaper...
Have seen these http://www.eurocarparts.com/basket (http://www.eurocarparts.com/basket)
or these http://www.mtecbrakes.com/checkout/cart/ (http://www.mtecbrakes.com/checkout/cart/)
but have also just seen these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262029687270?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262029687270?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

Any others to put into the pot and muddle me up anymore?
Ta very.

Links to items rather than a basket would help

I've been wondering about the Mtec C Hooks as im in need of new brakes all round

I would go for Brembo plain Discs and DS2500 pads with decent fluid personally.

Are.you thinking for track or 'spirited' road use?

For the latter there's nothing wrong with OE discs and something like Mintex 1144 pads.

Which pads and which fitment....? Tempted with going for Brembo pads http://www.eurocarparts.com/brake-pads (http://www.eurocarparts.com/brake-pads)

Mtec c hook with black coating, if the coating lasts and not rust like the standard disc hub mount? http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/volkswagen/golf-mk5-04-09/golf-2-0t-gti-01-05-10-08.html (http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/volkswagen/golf-mk5-04-09/golf-2-0t-gti-01-05-10-08.html) £184

For normal road use, sometimes fairly quick  :smiley:
