Disc and pad combo

Postby Mini Idiot on Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:35 pm

can anyone recommed a front disc and pad combo? i wont be doing any track days but as mt little fiesta si is no rocket its nice to be able to out brake people on those more enthusastic drives!

i dont mind swapping them for bigger brakes and calipers from another ford etc but i want to keep 15 inch rims and dont want to adapt my hubs or hub carriers.

sounds daft but on my mk3 golf,the best brake discs were standard brembo solid discs! so im looking for performace over looks.

grooves and holes and pretty patterns are great, but only if they have been proven by the people who matter the most.
you guys!

I have mintex fast road pads on standard discs, works MUCH better than standard setup. Would be a good option short of going to the ST150's!

try mintex 1144's or ferodo DS2500's with Brembo max discs and goodridge braided lines, work very well on mine. You might find that the discs are listed as being for a Mazda 121 rather than a fiesta
