i had greenstuff, they sucked

then i got Ferodo DS2500 race pads, better than the greenstuffs at cold temps, and craploads better at hot temps :)

also dont forget to put some good quality fresh brake fluid in, i always use Motul RBF600

Hiya!
You will find that groved discs will help with your braking more than just a set of fancy pads on standard discs!
Obviously depends on your budget, but anything like 3g, tarox etc do cheapish upgrades! Otherwise Four pots+ are the next step.
I got some 3g 20 groove, and mintex extreme pads and find them quite good, and they work well from cold.

I got 3G 20 slots rotors mintex 1144 pads put dt51 fluid in and got steel braided brake lines.

The car feels a million times better then it did!

got it all from starletgtturbo.co.uk for a great price, thanks Dave :)


PS: people are going to come on slating 3G rotors... I havent had a problem and they seem fine to me. Also unless you are running big power not much point going for a big brake kit, remember your trying to stop a little starlet not a veyron

Cheers Dylan, have sold literally hundreds of 3g discs with very few complaints and those that do have absolutely abused them. The Mintex 1144 pads are a good fast road pad as are the Hawk. The DS2500 are very good
