Brake Disc & Pads

[Arosa16vology]

Right i had my Arosa checked over by the garage, nothing major wrong just needing some new front disc and pads.

I wanna get some decent ones like Brembo or Ebc.

Any suggestion and what else has everybody else got?

links please!

Ive herd EBC do a good range and easy to come by. Not managed to get any yet due to financial difficultys.

Have you tried ringing the guys at Formula one in Brighton ? They gave me a really good deal on my shocks/Springs and were really helpful. The link is http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=216 Worth ringing them before you go via potn.

i had G40 ones on my lupo and some grooved and vented on my arosa

the arosa was better at braking haha

ive gone for EBC Green stuff pads all round and Zimmerman discs on the front and red dot 6 groove discs for the rear on my conversion

i was going to go for EBC but ive been told if you abuse the EBC discs they crack if they are the drilled ones ...

EBC discs have a drilled 'look', but are only dimpled - there isn't actually a hole through them, so that can't cause them to crack.
I recently had proper drilled discs fitted, and know of the talk of cracking, so I'll find out for myself if it is true. I suspect if you abuse any disc they can fail.

Alot of people talk rubbish about EBC, I've had their setups on 2 of my cars, and found them to be excellent. I'm now using RedStuff pads.

see im not planning on track daying the arosa once the 20vT is in it so green stuff will do , dont get me wrong it will be doing the odd 1/4mile but you only need the brakes at the end

Quite!
GreenStuff is great, I think it works best with Turbogroove discs, but they can be a bit noisy.

Ultimax disks are the grooved non dimpled (quieter) disks
EBC pads are not great, especially when compared to the likes of DS2500's which ROCK!

i only got the vented ones wasn't really bothered about performance disc. got the green stuff pads tho.
