Brake pad choice

[Missing Link]

Had the wheels off today to get the wheels refurbed and noticed the pads looked a bit low.

Never had a car with AP brakes before so unsure what the original thickness would have been. ( guessing thicker than i have just now )

Also ...... Pad choices guy's ?? I see they vary but don't really need all singing all dancing pads as the car is never really worked hard, But also don't really want crap either.

Any recommendations......... Front and rears please.

Reading previous topics, Mintex MDB2207 for fronts and MDB1526 seem to be a popular choice for non OEM pads.

Extremly good things being said about Pagid pads in this month's evo...

Lots of brake dust from the mintex, will be trying some others next time. Any suggestions??

Run the EBC yellowstuff all round, pretty good not had them on long so still bedding in would recommend

Ebc reds £68 ish rears £50 ish fronts europarts or other outlets

I've got redstuff, ok, but look crap! You can see them a mile off!

Good point about the dust thing, Hadn't thought about that.
