Can you get powerdiscs on the rear? I didn't think you could. ECP don't have stock of Ferodo pads at the moment either!

They sell ATE rear discs, but they are standard solid discs, not grooved like powerdiscs.

I'm not the best person to ask about pads, feedback on this site for greenstuff is poor, but I was just speaking to a mate who uses then, allbeit not on an e30, and he rates them.

ATE do make the rear power discs but they are quite hard to get hold of

Are you copying me again winkeye

Ferodo DS2500s, ATE disks up front, brembo disks and mintex 1144s on the rear plus ferodo (5.1 i think) brake fluid. Check zone shop for details or call sal.

Havnt heard anything good about green stuff pads on e30 fittment although they may work well on other cars.

Ferodos are the don by all accounts :D
