soul-2-soul 3 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 so they are good pads for daily but great when racing! So performace ones would be even better for daily but not as good when racing! So it really depends what you use them for. I might go for the performance ones instead..Thanks for finding the review. I'm defo going for the DS Performance ones now. Will never take my car on the track & most of the time I just cruise around anyway & I'm sure the bigger discs, better pads & braided hoses will be up to the job during my fast moments.Now just gotta decide on which discs today & i'm set to be have my brakes sorted by Thursday Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 yeh same as..i cruise around usually with a few mad moments on the weekend so i think performance pads are the ones. Did you get your calipers painted from the guy? if so..whats the paint finish like? Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Did not get them painted but wish I had as I now have to drop them off at my local body shop tomorrow to get them done. Going for silver as I think red brakes looks chavvy unless their Brembo \ Wilwoods etc. If my memories correct I am sure people were saying that the OEM discs from VW \ TPS were better than the plains from GSF?Just called my local TPS & the OEM plains are £150 so may as well pay the £20 or so extra & get Black Diamond Grooved ones.

H13VYY 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hmm true about the chavvy red calipers....il see. what colour your VR? Yeh did you say you had Black diamond discs for your MK2? how do you rate them? Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Had two sets on my MKII & one set on My MKI. Always used the grooved ones rather than combi or drilled & found them to be very good - never faded on the road.Had Pagid FR pads on the the first set on the MKII & thought the pads were crap compared to ferrodo's.Ordered the discs & pads now so hopefully on track to get it fitted this week.Still got the mounts to do very soon as well as some other bits Link to post Share on other sites
