Hey again , ive decided to Completly Translate my Mk4 im only 18 so insurance is 2k at the moment with Uprated suspension /braided hoses new wishbones / antiroll bar links u name it its been replaced / been worked on. There is more i want to do like when im 21 ish i want to put a 1.6 ish into the car, but for the meantime im going all the way for exterior / interior . And putting strengh into the car.


So to start off with im going to try and sort my brakes out as thats the most important thing......!
ive Painted the calipers/Got stainless brake hoses for the front and the front discs were replaced
but they do get fkin hot and my pads are squeekkkyyyy even tho ive applied copper grease to the surrounds ect.
i noticed there is a chip on one pad which i dont like.
I was thinking about changing the Discs and Pads to mabe ebc Green stuff pads and not to sure on the discs tho

what would be the middle range price as im not rich lol spent too much on the car as it is....


Im looking to spend up to £50 on discs and £30 on pads . If the discs are more then that then il have to mabe replace them at a later time.


( Thanks for the replys in advance )

you will only get std disks for that price as uprated disks start at around £100.

As above and don't bother with EBC they are pants!

[Devil]

why do you say they are pants ? i there used in performance cars ect and the reports from the green stuff brake pads are brill....
I got quoted £35 including v.a.t for a set of front ones. will be able to pick them up thursday... but if you know anywhere cheaper then say as im in
a bad money situation... cheers

The pad compound is complete pap. I've got a video on YouTube of my brothers 165 converted FRST doing 4 light stops from 80mph and 1 hard attempted stop from 40mph. The pad overheated and smoked like mad.

Most people that rave about the Green Stuff pad simply have no experience of other pads to make a comparison. I've gone through several sets of their brakes and time and time again they've let me down.

please dont use green stuff pads . they are extremely not good lol
they smoke like hell and dont do the job properly.
i had some on my fiesta and they evaporated in a months time and smoked like crazy . no sht

[Devil]

[N_Dubz]

they seems to be quite good
hella lot better than green stuff

Mintex 1144 or 1155 depending on your uses. Ferodo DS2500 is another of my fave pads but may be OTT for your application

My brothers last set of Greenstuff pads
