Hey Guys,

Time has come to replace my brakes, getting the fronts done first as there in a terrible condition..

Been looking around and there are alot of different variations and combos for disks + pads.

Was after any advice and guidance before I went away and bought some.

Im not after anything fancy as i never do track days and only use my car for travelling around town..

I was looking at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-VW-GO...uattro&hash=item3a8af432dc:g:TboAAOSwopRYmg8L

Or can get eicher disks and pads from eurocarparts cheap as they have a sale on today but are they rubbish?

any help appreciated

Be careful with any of the aftermarket discs - they may look the dogs but they are rarely as well manufactured as OEM stuff. I had genuine brembo discs mated to DS2500 pads and although they squealed when hot, they were a good fast road combo. Just recently fitted the some dba t2 slotted discs and they are an improvement over stock. I would also advise against drilled discs as they get clogged very quickly and you lose the benefit + even the OEM drilled discs have been known to show hairline cracks from the drilled holes.

I run brembo hp2000 pads on the front with oem discs, pretty good for just pads compared to the oem pads.

Imo if your on a budget, go pagid discs and uprated pads - avoid ebc though for pads!!

I brought a set of Pagid discs and pads almost a year ago and they did the job. A few of the lads here recommenced them to me. Thinks there the ones Audi use I was told
