Brake Disc Reccomendation

[caztech]

Have a 2.0 gti 16v cupra sport and Im away to change the front discs, any reccomendation for best discs to get, preferably vented, thanks

You'll only be able to get vented mate

As for 'brands', un;ess you want grooved/drilled, I'd just go for OE spec Brembo's available from GSF

tbh i never bother with expensive discs. I think expensive pads are more important.

I've just bought some Apec front discs for the 8v at £25 a pair

If you want uprated discs, Grooved and dimpled ones are the way to go such as EBC's Turbo Grooved Discs (TGDs). Drilled discs are prone to cracking and too many wide grooves make them Noisy. If you want a quieter braking, EBC's Black slotted discs are very good.

i used to have green stuff pads, and ebc grooved discs, they went ok round the Ring... however there was a very light judder through the steering, so i stripped them back down, nothing obviously wrong, assuming it was the pads.

(judder before the ring so pretty sure they didnt overheat.)

ok thanks, will shop around and get my new discs

ATE stuff is what I usually buy, OEM I think? Its all about the pads and fluid!!

TRW is OEM i think, the OEM pads ive got have got that as well as the vag stickers on it.

Its all about the pads and fluid!!

agreed

 

[jenk]

Yellow stuff pads and some good Dot 4 to go in mine.......and ABS that works hopefully

 

[Dolly_Gti]

well it is about pads and fluid... but its about discs too, cheap ones that cant handle heat will soon warp with some hard driving.

depends if you want to go round tracks and how hard you push. i always tend to think you get what you pay for.

yeh thats true, have decided to go for the ebc discs, thanks everyone
