Brembo discs and pads are cheap, but if you want awesome brakes just jam some DS2000/DS2500's in your calipers with Brembo discs.

As above, brembo disks (vented only, not drilled or grooved) and Ferodo or mintex pads. The mintex pad & disk sets for the rear are really cheap as well and are probably as good as you'll get on the standard real calliper. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

I got pagid all round on mine. I have very warped discs. They still stop okay but no where near as good as brembo discs and normal ferrodo pads which I have always used.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Yeah I read that, but I can't imagine a set being €60 to deliver. If you can't get them I'd recommend spending the extra €40 for the Mintex stuff over QH, although I can't vouch for Mintex front disks as I've never used them, their pads all round and rear disks are spot on.________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
