Brake pads?

[Switch3sixty 0]

About to treat the golf to some new shoes (well pads really!) and wondered why you lot buy them from? I'm looking at popping down to German, French and Sweedish for mine although volksspares is closer.

Any ideas or comments before i part with my (not that)hard earnt money?

I use EBC Greenstuff pads and recommend them highly - they come covered with a special bedding in compound that cuts down on squeaks etc. They bite well and the wear rate isn't too bad.

I buy them from here:

They used to offer a discount for VR6OC members, not sure if they still do, but their prices are good.

I use Ferodo DS3000 pads, highly recommended.

u do track days??

I'd definitely recommend ebc greenstuff pads with zimmerman x-drilled discs. Much better on the road than the original set up

Ive used standard, pattern and FR and the FR Pagids are soo much better. Dont but cheap pads whatever you do. There are a lot of guys on clubgti that are slagging EBC by the way.

Doesn't the greenstuff/ fast road pads give a spongy pedal until heated up though.. I mean if your doing normal in town driving are they not a little slow to respond until heated...just curious as I was going through the same decision to make.. and wasn't to convinced about fast road stuff baring in mind that mine isn't a golf but a Lab (dog) carrier....

They are onlt slighty less effective but TBH I have never noticed it. Just wait till you do some enthusiastic driving and you'll be glad you used the FR. The pagids do preduce a shed load of dust mind you.
