Question Decent budget front brake pads for MY99 4-pots

I thought it was the EBC's - but these are coming up to £100!!

I'm sure there were some for around £35, but can't remember which ones. Does anyone know??

I've seen some at my local shop who does these jap ones for £25, but I don't really want to take the risk.

The pads are for everyday driving and not track racing or anything!

They seem really good as the quality is stated as being at least as good as the OEM part - so may just give it a try!

**** me, you have a performance car & you want to get the cheapest pads to help you stop I would be looking for the best (this does not have to be the dearest) pad as it is only a few inches square of material between you & a ditch.

Best value pads, not the crappest. Apparently the site above does pads to at least the OEM standard, so I'm going to give them a shot...
