Ferodo premier FDB 775 for the G60. Main Dealer discs.......Not a single prob in 2 years, Thats my advice. Had the G60 nearly eight years and tried loads of different pads (mainly expensive ones ! but really like the ferodo.

Main dealer discs and I like the EBC greenstuff pads, they stop well are nice and progressive and don't make a lot of dust.

 

Well worth getting a sliding pin refurb kit and caliper refurb kit from VW to overhaul the replacement setup.

Another vote for genuine discs.. they're quite affordable too - £25/£30 each side I think :)

Cool so the pads are non standard ferodo and the disks are standard vw parts

The only thing with standard disks is i was hoping to maybe buy something drilled and grooved and at least grovved as iv got brembo max disks at the mo and quite like them

Think im deffo gonna go forthe green stuff pads as im running brock b1s and there a very open wheel

Never thaught to refurb the sliders how much does this kits cost

Cheers i did have a look at these on ed38 but says they are for a five stud fitment only and mine been a valver would not fit

Is there any way you can get these to fit im guessing its hard to get disks in four stud that are big enough

Another thing ? There was a link to a site a couple of weeks ago selling really cheap but good quality stuff does anyone know what web site it was think it was around the likes of brakesfast.com but i could be way out with that

Don't quite see the fascination on the drilled / grooved discs myself, unless you're going to spend real money on some very decent ones. You're really just pouring money away for very little gain. Get the VW discs and then spend some money on very decent pads (like the Ferodo DS's) where you'll really notice the difference.

They're brembos from a 4 stud Ibiza cupra.. Would just need new oem discs & pads

 

Other company was brakesnextday or very similar!

Not too expensive, come with new rubber boots, locking bolt and some red grease to suit, 8E0 698 470 B is the part number and you will need 2 kits at around £10 a side.
