well the time has come to replace the front disks and pads, the missus drives it during the week, i play at the weekend  . i phoned vw and they want £185 to supply disk and pads  yeah right. my question is will red stuff pads be ok for just normal drivng (the missus )  do they have to be warmed up for optimum use? ive also found some brembo disks for £66 delivered that seems a good deal to me ? will they go ok with red stuff pads?  sorry for all the questions just want to make sure i get it right   
 car is 07 edition 30  i assume the disks i want are 312mm?

 cheers

Stock front discs are 312mm vented, rears 286mm solid

EBC redstuff, greenstuff, anystuff

Pagid or Ferodo

cheers hurdy what about the brembo disks ? or should i go for pagid disks aswell?  europarts seem to stock both

id just go for some stock discs. they can be had for less than those brembos i think with a bit of searching

I doubt there will be much difference between the discs (get grooved rather than drilled!), it is the pad material, and coefficient of friction ratings that make the main difference.

Personally, I didn't get on with the ebc red stuff pads on my mk4 turbo - the feel was incredibly wooden with marginal increase in retardation power.
