Just heard that my brakes are ready at the refurbers, finally getting some slow to match the go!

Which pads an discs? Sticking with the m1144?

Still have the OE discs and some fairly fresh M1144s from the 30 so will be popping them on for now but very tempted to try those project mu pads and some OE TTs discs tbh 

[rich83]

Yes me too....just a bit bloody expensive. Will probably end up with 340 discs and ds2500 or m1144

I'd pull the trigger on them if I could be 100% sure of the longevity claims as they 'could' pay for themselves if they did last as long as the claims, at current pricing it's the equivalent of 2 sets of 1144/ds2500 and they claim 3 times durability so technically project mu are a bargain 

[tony_danza]

Longevity claims are valid (if using the right compound, overheating anything too soft will wear it)

Any winter spec this year Mr. B?

Therein lies my concern... I know that the 1144s do overheat a little on track currently (for the weight of the golf I really need 1155 but I don't want their road manners), I can live with it as they are a great pad and great value at £120ish but I'd like a better wear rate tbh which brings me to the project mu's..
Trouble is if they overheat and wear to the same degree as the 1144 whilst its not an issue in its self and doesn't affect performance it would be an expensive experiment

Will be rocking the trusty Monza's chief, that's if I ever get any time off work to fit the bloody things!

You could do with a graph of the temp ranges of your 1144s and the P-Mu compound you're looking at - see how they compare and see if it's worth the gamble?

From what I've seen, it'll be a safe bet, but it's still a lot of dough to be rolling to Chester and back each day in traffic.

I hear there should be an update
