Thanks for that, what are you going for?, I've got 1144's on the front, so was going for them on the rear to balance things up.

I am going for:

GGR Grp N Front Discs
Ferodo DS2500 Front Pads
Green Stuff Rear Pads
Std Rear Discs
S/S Brake Lines
5.1 Brake Fluid

Are the 1144 any good for the front. Also are they very dusty?

Both the 1144, 1155 and DS2500 are same in price.

there is absoloutely no comparison between ds2500 and 1144/55, the FERODO is a far superior pad in all aspects - WHY are you putting "ebc" in rear??????

p.s. we are main agents for MINTEX, PAGID, FERODO (amongst others) and always try and maintain a high level of quality service!!

EBC no good?

Std pads OK, cos the rear brakes do not get used heavily.

Sorry for the high of post.

IMO (and we test quite heavily) the pads with the "three letter name" are not worth buying.......
either leave std pads in or fit a mildly uprated pad depending on use.
