Need to replace disc and pads what's the best to get?
-
I just fitted some eicher discs and pagid pads on the front. Cost me about 80 quid for the lot, although I believe that grooved / dimpled mtec's are also popular, but a bit more money
-
I'm thinking about going for the mtecs the groves and dimpled ones all 4 discs with pads £190 :driver:

You could get a big brake kit (s3 kit in the FS area for £300-350) :drinking:
You won't believe how much better they are until you've tried them

I know it's just finding a kit that has everything :/ for the moment I was just going to stick with standard disc and pads just unsure what's best to buy...

Here's a kit that has everything at a great price: www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,91418.0.html :innocent:
Standard disks & pads are best bought from VW, as cheaper alternatives are likely to get warped more easily and won't perform / last as well.
For the money you would spend on uprated disks & pads on standard GTI calipers, you may as well buy a bigger brake kit that comes with everything

I have seen that ad I just live quite far from where the seller is :/
I just want to know what disc and pads VW use so I can buy them else where cheaper
-
Pagid IIRC, although watch out for cheap pagid, as there have been reports of sub-standard products
-
How about trying some grooved 312s with ebc yellowstuff pads, not too costly, amazing performance without the weight penalty of the s3/r32 brakes.

Thanks mate, what disc would you recommend ?

Mintex seem good value and are decent quality. Manufactured by TMD Friction who also own Textar and Pagid.

Is 312 the stick size in MM? What grooved discs are reccomended then?
-
Just get the OEM ones from VW they are fine.
I wouldnt touch yellowstuff pads with a bargepole
