What's your budget, driving style and use?

AP's for the ultimate and £1500 budget

Godspeed + OE 4-pots and £600 budget

Couple of hundred would get you uprated pads (and possibly front discs).

You'll need at least 17" wheels for the large 330mm+ rotors.

Road or Track, where else are you going to use them?!!

Surely it's cheaper to change the pads instead of the car each time....!?
