Title: Pads and Discs all round
Post by: Craigjm on November 21, 2022, 15:35
I dont think they need upgrading so not looking for fast road or track. What is the best brand to go for?

And I do like the anti corrosive coating they use on the discs.
( Of course the working surface  does not last but the edge and boss keep their newness)

Solid discs then. I guess there is no point going vented and drilled etc. the pagid pads seem to come in standard and premium by the looks of the euro car parts website. Anyone know the difference?

As you stated in your OP, not looking for fast road or track. OEM/equiv will be just fine. That and a flush through with some fresh DOT3 fluid.

I had pagid all round for a while and things were fine, recently went for EBC yellow pads and there is definitely a difference.

Any good quality oem spec will be fine for road use, i get my oem pads/discs etc from www.brakeparts.co.uk usually and never had an issue with decent prices etc,  but any known brand will be fine im sure.

I believe the OE and after market proposed discs are ventilated.
Drilling, however, is not required unless you wish to reduce the life of the pads.
