| New Brake Discs and Pads I'm going to need some new discs and pads soon and since I can't afford the conversion to bigger discs, i'm just wondering if anyone can recommend any particular make that I should have a look at - might as well upgrade a little rather than fitting OEM discs. For an 02 reg 1.9 tdi Fabia.

| Re: New Brake Discs and Pads On my Octy I will probably be going for Black Diamond grooved discs and Ferrodo DS2500 pads - I am not sure how well this combination works on the Fabia but I have heard good things about it on the Octy It is probably worth staying clear of cross drilled discs as they have a tendency to crack around the holes due to the thermal stresses

| Briskodian | Re: New Brake Discs and Pads Try Eurocarparts grooved discs with EBC greenstuff pads. My mate ran these for a while, they are very good. |

| Re: New Brake Discs and Pads im not getting into the ebc are good/bad debate, we could be here for days. motorsportworld are very cheap if you can do them yourself. GSF do solid brembo discs for about £30 for the fabia, get ferodo pads from msw and your laughing. alternatively jabba do mintex xtreme pads and pagid discs fairly cheap so might also be wirth a shot. im getting these fitted 1st week in Jan so will let you know. suppose it all dpends on how much you wanna spend... |

| Re: New Brake Discs and Pads EBC have a new formula on their pads so the tales of woes regarding their effectiveness is a thing of the past. having run them on the Fabia for in excess of 20,000 miles I can confirm that they are 2x as good as the OEM pads, in all fairness I do only have them fitted to the rear of the car, but you can certainly tell that they are fitted and I would have no hesitation fitting them on the front as they really are THAT GOOD. HTH, Chris.

| Site Sponsor  | Re: New Brake Discs and Pads Hi Yes The ZeroSixty are good. We have sold a few of these , and they have mainly been on the Mk5 Golf`s Had good reports so far , that is why I am wanting some on my car I would not even consider Green Stuff , even if they have changed the compounds. Sorry , but I do know that the Tarox Strada pads are excellent so why try something that "could" be better The DS2500`s are good too Between them you would have a seriously good set up The Tarox discs are good too , these are heat treated so will not warp I would steer clear of drilled discs and go for grooved ones , dimpled are good as these will not have the same problems as the drilled Sarah |
