Need new Discs and Pads, Stick with Brembo or Get GodSpeed??
 
So i need new discs and pads all round (the pads aren't warn but are rubbish and had to buy them as money was tight). I have been quotes for Brembo discs and Ferodo pads at approx £620 fitted.

Should i stick with Brembo or go for Godspeed discs they seem cheaper (£120 v £198) and people seem to rate them??....not sure if i need the 316mm or 326mm for my 2004 STi??

discs and pads are a piece of cake to fit, even for those without much experience working on cars, I wouldn't pay a garage £45 p/h to do it. I went for the godspeed discs and standard pads for day to day driving, and when I go on the track I will swap for track specific pad

Well it would take me more than an hour to jack the car up 4 times and fit 4 discs and 4 pairs of pads, so i dont have a problem paying £45 just to not having the hassle to do all that.

Do i need the 16mm or 326mm godspeeds though?

316mm are the rears and 326mm are the fronts. Go with Godspeed.

Thanks.

Next question, recommended pads., are standard Ferodo good performance and price match or is there a better bang for buck about?

Bit too rich for my taste, plus i dont do any track driving, roads only.

Tidgy 09 October 2015 12:37 PM

if they are 3 times the price, last 3 times as long but work 30% better might not be as rich as you think ;)

Lettuce 09 October 2015 01:29 PM

Well that's your opinion, but just because something is 3 times the price doesn't mean its 3 times better
