Hello mate, welcome to the forum.

Ive just had pagid disks n pads fitted cost me bout 280 quid from awsome gti.

the only thing id say is that they take a bit to heat up i.e there not to good when cold. But wata noise they make when your braking down from a high speed

Thanks for that Ben.

I was thinking about black diamond discs and pads anyone used them before?

Wot is the best brake fluid to use when replacing the old.

I just love how smooth the car is much better than my mk2 16v.

I got greenstuffs and ATE power discs.

Do the job nicely.. again shite when cold.

I have ATE power discs too, and pagid fast road pads. decent price and theyve made one hell of a difference.

Where di you get the ATE power discs from?

Are they the ones with the swirling grooves?

How much ?

[Macca 1]

I got ATE power discs from euro car parts, the pads came from german, swedish and french.

yep, they have the swirling grooves. I cant remember exactly what they cost, just that 280mm are quite a bit cheaper than 288mm. I think it was about 150-200quid for pads and discs all round.

Use dot. 5.1 brake fluid, has a much higher boiling point. I use standard disks which are made of superior steel - £35 each from the stealers.

Zimmermann discs and Pagid pads from GSF and Goodridge hoses. Had this fitted to my car a few weeks ago, and the brakes do seem to be sharper.
