God knows when they were fitted and whether they put any copper grease on them. I suppose its about time for some new brake pads then? Which ones do you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites
Piper666 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Personally i like yellow stuff pads. really, really sharp bite and stop esp when combined with grooved discs. :-# if on a budget tho then Ferodo pad are still good Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yellows on front are £77 and rears are about £38 with club discount Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ive just fitted Green stuffs all round and they are very good so far and low dust. Loads of bad reviews of them on saxo's, pugs and civics, but on a heavy VR they seem spot on and only about £85 for the lot with club discount Link to post Share on other sites
