francisjonno 2 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Zimmerman x-drilled discs with pagid fast road pads is popular at the front. I'm using greenstuff pads and they're good, but prefer the pagids - slightly more effective imo. I'm using a standard setup at the back (it doesn't do a lot of the braking - but others might have recomendations 4 upgrades)Prices from GSF ( www.gsfcarparts.com ) for the front are:Zimmerman x-drilled discs =£34.50-38.50 (depending on year)Padgid fast road pads = £36.50-46.00 (depending on year) Link to post Share on other sites

You say that, but I've warped my 2 month old 312 genuine TT discs already! I must be a lunatic on the middle pedal or perhaps the Audi discs are pap? I really need to get some AP racings....but the cost.....oh the cost.... Link to post Share on other sites
