Which brake pads and discs?
TheBALDpuma:
I have a habit of warping front discs, and attribute it to spirited driving on less than perfect discs, so I'm going to swap mine out for a decent set of discs and pads.
I had seen a pair of Brembo discs on parts in motion for just under £100 but they only have the offer 345mm ones now, or £200 for a pair of drilled ones which is overkill. So I've been looking at other brands, any recommendations?
EBC ones aren't too pricey either, worth the money?
coolhandluke:
Just put a set of Pagid Discs and pads on my MK7.5 and have no complaints. Got them from Power Brakes. I'm sure they'll do MK5 ones too.
Octoparrot:
Pagid are my go to brand, always great quality.

I've got Pagid pads on the rear and I have to say I'm not loving them, they make far too much dust. I don't know what make pads are on the front but they make considerably less dust. I was actually thinking about swapping the rears for another brand even though they're not worn out just because of the mess they make. The only problem I've got is I don't know what make to go for, I would definitely use the same brand as the front if I knew what it was.
I'm open to suggestions if anyone has got any.
EBC 's marketing says all the right stuff but I done a search on the forum and it appears people don't seem to like them.

I've got TRW aftermarket pads on mine and they are good.
