I've got a 8P S3 and wondering what brake pads are good and what ones are not. I was looking at Brembo pads but am unsure.

Thanks in Advance

you get what you pay for
to be honest tho, you would get better value for money on a decent brake fluid. the OEM pads really arnt too bad, just suffer from a bit of fade when used hard, but thats where the decent fluid helps

Ok. Thanks Guy's. Ferado's are a bit costly. I heard EBC were pish do thought Brembo ones would be good. I'll try putting in some good fluid with the standards to see what like it is.
