Are those m1144?

No mate just the budget mintex pads. I'm going the try ebc yellow stuff pads out next month.

I didn't notice much difference over standard with the mtec discs, they look nice though and didn't crack with some fairly hefty abuse.

I've also tried the Yellowstuff pads, they were slightly better than standard but not much tbh; personally I'd go straight for Ferrodo DS2500 or Mintex M1144.

Maybe I think they perform much better because the old discs n pads were that past it brake fade was dangerous! I would like ds2500 or m1144s but the price! If you didn't notice a big difference in the yellow stuff pads I might give them a miss then! Cheers for the advice mate.  Hope I notice a difference in the HEL braided lines.

Small update. New wheels fitted this week, 18" Team dynamic pro race 1.2s thanks to tejinder.
We did a deal on my monzas in swap for them, nice to meet a fellow member.

Anyway a few pics fitted they are et45 so they've saved on purchasing wheel spacers! And also redone the rear lights as I wasn't happy with the finish. Comments welcome...

Thanks mate wasn't sure on the colour after having the monzas on but It's growing on me now!

Really nice car mate. You know how to make silver look good!

Personally i prefered the monzas, gave the car a much cleaner newer look imo.

How are the new brakes holding up? Need to do mine but really cant decide whether ro go for standard or not

I was in two minds about the monzas because they were so clean, i just got bored and fancied trying a few different things! I will get some more after winter. I do like the more aggressive look of the pro races then again I did like how the monzas kept it more oem.

The brakes are so much better I feel confident with them, still got the Hel lines to go on so that should be enough for road use. I'd recommend them for a cheap upgrade.

I thought this was a pretty cool photo when I was out today. Wish I had a decent camera though!


And this
