Post by: fab5freddy on September 03, 2012, 06:07:42 pm

For R32 345 fronts and 310 rears. Anyone any experience of these?

Are they any good? OEM standard?

I`ve used them on a standard GT TDI, no complaints after approx 6k miles of average driving, they`ve been fine.

But after some use when going a little quicker than average I do feel I need more bite.

So, I happily replace using Bosch discs but would consider an alternate pad in the future.

I`m no expert though  :smiley:

Fred got the Pm

Bosch pads same as APEC made in Spain same factory, so if you're slogging up and down the M25 then fine, getting up at 5.30am on a Sunday to go for a lat about then invest a bit more of our hard earned.

One of my business partners Richard at Brakes Iternational really rates these Breck pads from Poland, he's convinced they're good stoppers with low dust and a good wear rate, when I take the piss he really insists they're that good. I'm never sure if he really feels that way or brainwashing himself as he's got himself a warehouse full of em but he's running a V8 B6 S4 with the same pad in as a Mk5 golf R32 and trust me he doesn't hang about  :driver: and he rates them.

Can't get Ds2500 in that Fitment anymore but M1144 are good on track, or look for a deal on some IEM news on ebay
