Need Help Choosing New Front Discs & Pads

[PDT]

I find that OE spec Mintex give off a lot of dust, Pagid OE pads are rubbish.

I tend to use Bosch or Brembo discs (Bosch from Andrew page and brembo from GSF) and Bosch pads for direct replacements. For a better pad look at pagid : http://www.racepads.co.uk/pagid.htm

drilled discs do look quite nice, who does the best OE equivalent disks?

Here are my old drilled / slotted discs on my winter setup.


They were ok, but as said before no better than standard (I had them with some Tarox strada pads, which were no better than the standard pad, lol)... if I were you I'd go with the Mintex 1144 with a standard disc... as the DS2500 aren't a street legal compound unless part of a BBK. Endless pads are HUGELY expensive, at which point you'd buy the R32/Cupra/S3 calipers.

What discs are they?
