Hey have octi vRS Mk1 02 and I need new Discs in the front, Im looking at DNX discs drilled, My question is will they fit okay and what would be the best pads for them as DNX dont make pads of Skoda's
Someone please help as I dont have much of a clue!!

I personally wouldn't go for drilled as they're prone to warping. Best just get some grooved discs imho.... For pads, the Ferodo DS2500 or Mintex Extremes are good.

Another vote for Mintex Extremes...and half the price of Ferodo`s

Would recommend the Mintex Extreme range too - great value for money. I've got DS2500s on currently.

Not sure what Mintex do for discs, but I've been happy with the standard set of EBC 312 discs I picked up. Great price from ebcdirect.com too

I wouldn't go drilled either, but if I was feeling flush would pay up for some grooved Tarox G88s

I'm running grooved discs that are sold on ebay by CRN products with mintex extreme pads. I've had no problems at all over the year i've had them on. If you phone him direct rather than buy from ebay & state your from Briskoda he will do a further 10% off like he did for me.

Sounds good - what make are the grooved discs?

As far as I know they are QH discs m/c grooved.
I've had no poblems at all with them & my friends haven't either. They stop better than the stock items fitted before & I will replace them with some more when they get ready for changing.
