goodboy1451 0 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 strange that you asked. I just fitted new brake discs and pads bought from German and Swedish last week. I am using Brembo front disc and Zimmermann back disc. Pads were from Pagid. I would say the performance is alright but nothing to shout about. There is a some brake squeeal when I brake hard. The cost is half what I would expected to pay if I were to get from Black Diamond. Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Dont use cross drilled discs if you drive the car hard or on a track - they are prone to cracking...Grooved are fine though - try Ferodo DS2500, DS3000 or Mintex 1144 pads - ive had good experience with all these and with considerably heavier cars than the Vr6 - they all provide good retardation from cold (unlike some other compounds) which is essential on a daily driven road car imho...Pete.
