I've a full set of discs and pads for sale that I bought for my TDi but never got round to getting themfitted before I sold it.
Let me know if you're interested. Off the top of my head I think They were mintex discs and pagid pads not 100% on that tho.

Slightly confused, you mention 4 pots, do you want to change calipers too?

A good and slightly better replacement:

- Ate PowerDisc or AP Xtreme discs and Ferodo DS Performance pads


Even better (and more expensive):

- EBC TurboGroove or EBC BlackDash with Ferodo DS2500 pads


Ultimate solution with stock calipers:

- Tarox F2000 discs (or G88) with DS2500 or Pagid RS4-2 (blue) pads



What's the diameter of your discs, 288 mm or 312 mm ?

Pics and price matey of the mintex?

Sorry, when I said four pots......I meant don't want some MASSIVE £2k brake upgrade kit lol big arse discs, calipers etc.

 :surprised: F2000 £350 pair (average)

Just simple, nice upgrade

Not sure on size guys  :ashamed: it's a 2004 std GT TDI

136/140 HP - 288 x 25 mm

170 HP - 312 x 25 mm (same as GTI)

If you have 140 HP (288 mm) upgrade to 312 mm. Retrofitting the larger 312 mm discs is
easy and cost effective because 288 mm and 312 mm are fitted with the same FN3 calipers.
