Need some new pads, and having a search, these two are the most reccomended! Its for a Ring trip and need I want something that doesn't fade and has a decent feel. If the Mintex will last 2 laps of the ring at a time without Fade then I will go for them as they are much cheaper! |

i am just about to have my mintex s taken out from my scoob as they are just too hard and are no good for local driving. I have had both sorts in the gti6 and liked the feel under foot of the mintex 1144 s. I had the ds2500 before and they work fine, although you can only buy them a ferodo main dealer now and that makes them very expensive now.too the point where the price put me off ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

Are these discs any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/306-GTi6-GTi-6-Drilled-Grooved-Brake-Discs-Front-Rear-/120408620600?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c08e9be38 Just ordered braided lines. My discs are knackered, and these seem cheap for what they are. Probably be mated to 1144 Mintex front pads and some cheap rear pads that still do the job. Also, what fitment is £50?? Cheers, Sam |

Just get standard discs Sam. IMO grooved discs are a waste of money and will likely crack if you give them death________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

I'd stay away from drilled though, as they do crack around the holes as said. Grooved discs help the initial bite on DS2500's too, but the cost is an increased pad and disc ware rate. ________________________________________ Rich |

It is for the Wilwoods I paid £50 ish for the DS2500's. Much better pads than the "Smart pads" I had initially. The brakes C/W hoses, brackets and what ever's left of the pads maybe available when I come to sell the car as I'm likely to put it back to standard and sell the good bits separately. ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Mintex 1144's or even 1155's if you are using the car for fast road use. Track/serious stick, use DS2500's. Standard Brembo vented discs will be fine for either scenario.________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |

allesclar wrote: grooved also are more likely to warp like f*ck, like mine sadly Nope, I've run several sets of grooved discs all with uprated pads and none have ever warped, even when given serious abuse. I'm not a big believer in 'warped' discs. Pad build-up on the discs and uneven wear are much more likely to be the culprit behind vibration under braking. You'd have to get the discs to an astronomical temperature to actually warp them through normal use. ________________________________________ Rich |

That sounds much more likely to be pad build-up on the disc. Using a sintered pad such as the Carbone Lorraine's would probably bring them back but if you don't have a set already it would be cheaper to just get new discs. ________________________________________ Rich |

OK, so the best thing to do is stick with the standard Brembo discs as apposed to the MTEC Grooved discs. If I went MTEC I would go for Grooved/Dimpled and not the drilled discs. Does anyone know if you can get Performance Friction pads for a GTI-6? Got them on my bike and my other track car and they are amazing. Whats the cheapest place to get Brembo's and DS2500's by the way? |

Will probably be Demon Tweeks if they still offer forum discount. Look in the Exhaust section for the guy offering the Magnex decats and give him a PM.________________________________________ Rich |

Are the ones I want FCP565H?I've had Ferodo's before, and they were bloody good. Don't fancy splashing out on Carbone Lorraine and Performance Friction don't do pads for the 306 so my next best bet is probably Ferodo DS2500's. |
