..........disk ands pads are soon gonna die
As you can imagine, i'm not a massive user of brakes so i'm seriously considering buying a set of OE brakes as 30k ain't to be coughed at
I wouldn't mind a bit more bite but i don't wanna ruin a set of pads in 10k. So what's out there that fits the bill? Are the new improved EBC pads any good? I loved then on my Clio as there was virtually no dust.
I also wouldn't mind some grooved disks on a looks only basis
An idea of price would be sound too
While i'm at it - what do dealers charge for a set of disks and pads these days?

Cool

Never once had a 7,500k service when the fronts haven't needed replacing ....

Must be those silver wedges that help reduce brake friction

Pagid disks seem well regarded in these circles, my MY00 is standard and I only do a very odd track day. would the 8 groove and blue pads be a good option for the front? Also how long to fit?
