Default New brakes needed...

MOT in a few weeks and at the last service was told discs will need to be replaced so...

Recommendations for new discs & pads please (for an MY00) - I'm not a thrash merchant, so brembo's not required, although I would like to notice where I've splashed the cash - not planning on spending silly money

Been looking at the EBC green stuff pads - but a bit unsure which direction to go for discs, I think it might also be worthwhile getting braided hoses too as this seems a fairly reasonable upgrade.

Also thought about the JW racing stoppers kit - anyone got this?

comments appreciated.

I just had Blackdiamond Grooved discs and Pagid fast road pads fitted and am impressed so far. Got discs from Motorsportworld.co.uk and pads from camskill.co.uk

From what I've read on here, stay well away from EBC green stuff pads.

Try Camskill, I just got some of their cross drilled front discs and am impressed so far. £90 a pair and rears are about £60 a pair (I think). They also do various pads.

well I did get the green stuff idea from Max Power...

and no - it wasn't my copy...

Will give camskill a look - cheers. the black diamonds look OK but might be a bit pricey when I need all 4 corners done...
