Hello all!
I'm after some advice on choice of Front Brake Pads for my 51 plate S3
I appreciate there are a large numder of threads on here with discussion over brakes and some excellent information from Dave Bayern and others but not many of the threads mention noise from the pads.
Although i'd like a pad that performs well I don't want contiuous squealing on braking and am happy to drop some performance for a silent drive.
the car never goes on the track but does get driven quite hard!
I've already bought new OE discs & pads for the rear and Black Diamond discs for the front.
I'd originally decided upon DS2500's reading the reviews on here but have had trouble trying to source some.
Then I read this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4013437&postid=51299859
I realise this is coming from fitment to a different car but are they always noisey being a track pad?
Are the DS performance pads really as bad as some say or are they better than OE pads and perfectly suitable?
I've thought about the Mintex Xtreme pads but some say they're great, others say they're pap!
From past experience I'd rather soil myself than fit EBC equipment! so are there any other options?
Pagid? Tarox? Black Diamond? Brembo?
Thanks
John
