horney 0 Posted April 27, 2009 What to get and from where? I've had a nosey at GSF and ECP but wondering if there were any recomendations of what works well on these cars. I'm not looking to spend mega bucks but as they need replacing (Pads down to the metal and car off the road) I thought I might as well fit some better stuff while I'm at it.

The_Dude 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Nick, try http://www.vwspares.co.uk/corrado_brakes.php for brake discs and http://www.bigredd.co.uk if you need any new seals or rubber bits. I use EBC redstuffs with normal discs and they stop very nicely, though I think a lot of people on here also use Pagid Fast Road and rate them highly. Have a search buddy. I don't really see the point in getting drilled discs for standard road use, you'll only end up chomping thru your pads quicker IMO. (Nice to meet you on Saturday too.)

horney 0 Posted April 27, 2009 nice one, I had a search on here but all it brought up where conversion etc which I wasn't after. I used to run drilled discs on my minis and they used to warp all the time as I'm pretty hard on the brakes so I give them a wide birth these days. I like grooved ones though 8) Was good to meet you too bud, your car is :notworthy: nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horney 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Ha ha yeah that was funny. Managed to find a thread on here about brakes by searching on google strangley. Anyway ordered some Brembo grooved discs and some Green Stuff pads which I'm picking up tomorrow. Need to then get over to oxford and fit them on the car! nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 27, 2009 Buy standard VW disks from VW. They're solid, last ages, and are no more expensive than crappy alternatives from GSF, etc. I bought pads from ECP as they were ATE pads which are an OE supplier. No problems with my setup at all.

horney 0 Posted April 27, 2009 I wanted grooved discs ideally as I intend on doing a few track days and I'm brutal on my brakes and always found grooved to be the best. nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 27, 2009 Ok, get Black Diamond disks and Ferrodo DS2500 pads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horney 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Ok, get Black Diamond disks and Ferrodo DS2500 pads They're a bit out of my price range. Cheers though. nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 28, 2009 They are expensive for sure but that's all I'd say it's either them or just standard VAG discs and pads as they last absolutly ages! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
