Replacement Brakes

[neilopafc]

Hello,

Just wondering what people would recommend to use Disk and Pads Wise for a Leon FR+ TDI 150 , on my previous car a focus ST170 i used EBC ultimax Discs with Green Stuff pads and was realy impressed with them but the EBC stuff is fairly pricey so wondering what people have used on theirs

Cheers
Neil

EBC are naff, if you want decent budget pads and discs try pagid or mintex, CRN do some good brake deals, there on ebay.

ill be the first... oem discs and ferodo ds2500s, pricey but tyres and brakes are parts not to skimp on.

So are the Mintex ones good? iv found a set of disc and pads front and rear for my car for £99 seems a little to good to be true

 

[james walker]

mintex are oem standard no more.

99 is cheap for front and rears..

mintex will be ok, depends what you want.

Im not normally one to skimp on things so after something decent as i do like the odd spirited drive

 

[james walker]

well they wont be any better than oem.. and imho they arent good pads.

decent then you want ferodo ds2500s. night and day over the mintex.
