rear brake pads urgent

[Jayy26]

Hi all,ive had a look through the posts and cant really find what im looking for..

My golfs running circa 270bhp so i need some decent pads that arnt going to ruin the bank basically

It does have some fast road use but they dont get hammer everyday...

cheers

seen ferroda etc on ebay around £29?

I've used pagid pads and have had no problems with them. I have braided brake lines in which did make a big difference.

[Jayy26]

would you rate them over bosche and brembo ones etc? i have some HEL braided lines to put on but didnt see much point because i dont do loads off fast driving now

I assume you are running stock rear brakes? You should consider swapping over to R32 rear brakes, they'll help a lot keeping 270 horses in check!

I would use Pagid pads if you're just running stock rears, they're more than fine for an occasional spirited drive along a B-road. If you were taking to the track then I'd opt for some pricer ones.

i do really want some but cant afford any at the moment been an expensive few months with my car..insurance,tax,decat,ed30 rear valence ha!

tbh ive never had a problem with the rears with standard pads on..

proberly abit more spirited driving..shall i opt for brembo or something then? i dont think there that much more expensive..

cheers

You can always trust a name like Brembo, for a few quid more I would especially if you're planning to use all those horses. I got normal Ferodo pad on my fronts and they're more than up to the job, will be fitting the rears with the same line of pads too when I upgrade to R32 rears.

[Jayy26]

like i said standard ones have been Shockingly good tbh..will order some brembo ones..cant justify the extra £50 to feroda right now

cheers bud

I have always sworn by mintex pads, never had any problems with them at all.

Mintex are basically pagid pads. Made in the same factory aswell.

TMD friction I believe.
