Matty_Gti Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 well i have the carriers for my g60 upgrade and looking for pads now then disks next month. if you could advice me which are best and which you would go for due to cost;Tarox fast road- £51.82Mintex xtreme- £40.50Ferodo DS2000- £62.96Ferodo DS2500- £80.64Black diamond predator- £53.00These are all prices for the corrado g60, these are the correct pads i presume??They also do the mintex xtreme pads for the lupo rear at £31.50, that sounds like a bargain to me!

vworks41 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) If your just using the G60 carriers than you can still use the standard GTi pads. I'm not even sure the G60 pads will fit?? because theyre thicker.I would go for DS2500 pads. High performance fluid and braided brake lines will make a massive difference to!!

Matty_Gti Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 does anyone know if the g60 pads fit into the gti calliper?? surely they should do?? i dont think i can push to the ds2500 pads. i think i will be getting the mintex xtreme for the back and might match them at the front.any more opinions?

vworks41 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Go for the DS2000's then Really not sure if they fit or not?? GTi pads are 15.6mm. G60/cupra pads are 19.6mm which is quite abit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Just to bump this - you've probably already decided though!The Mintex Xtremes are well regarded by your VAG cousins on Briskoda I run DS2500s up front on the Fabia at the moment and can't fault them. There's no denying, they're pricey though. For a combination of good value for money and performance, go with the Mintex.HTH,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
