LoopEd Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you're keeping the original callipers, then i'm pretty sure keep the gti's pads....that's what i've done. I seem to remember that if you get the g60 pads they're slightly too thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think i used ibiza cupra pads as they have a bit more meat on them, but standard GTI pads are fine mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopEd Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've got black diamond predator pads on mine with black diamond discs.....to be honest i'd choose different ones next time as they're not great until they're warmer.

angelo77 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) All depends on use and budget,I have just bought brembo maxi disks front and rear, standard brembo pads for the rear and goodrich stainless steel braided lines,On the front pads a cant decide if ferredo ds2500 are overkill for the car as they are £130 ish, padgid Blue pads are £160 ish or just go for a set of good quality standard pads for £30-£40 I have run a g60 set up for 60,000 miles, there is less brake fade over standard with them.

Might go for them, and they aint too badly priced either, as for pads im gonna stick with some standard ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
