What brake pads for UK classic - good performance but good value?

need to replace the front pads on the scoob, want to do it for cheap as possible but only with decent pads. So, what are decent pads for low money and where from? Oh and I still have the original 2 pot sh!tty brakes on unfortunately

Go for Red Stuff Ceramics from CAMSPORT on the net. Cheaper than OEM parts and a noticeable upgrade as well - Just put them on my 98 classic and have noticed an improvement and the pads and new EBC discs are still bedding in.

Hi

Mintex 1155 work well, just have to warm them up when you first start driving. I would get Goodridge stainless steel hoses as well, improves pedal feel.

Thanks, was looking at their site at work this afternoon after doing a google for the pads id no, delivered the pads for my year for the front are £79.45

Surprisingly not many places came up in the search, was really only this place and Scoobyworld which were about £2 more.

Will wait and see if I can find some 4 pots to upgrade to before I order the pads otherwise i'll get the pads from Camsport and hope they are a damn site better than the ones I have now!

If you do go for the Red Stuff make sure you get the ceramic pads. The normal Red Stuff are crap.

the only Red Stuff pads we stock are also the ceramic type. So far, nothing but excellent feedback on these pads.

Plenty in stock.

Do the new ceramic pads come advertised as that on the box or not?
I have just bought some red stuff from another on-line dealer based 20 miles south of Glasgow and they have the same code DP3966.
Just wandering

Thanks

The part n.o. on the box should be DP3966 C it must have the C or you have been done. C stands for Ceramic
