Heya guys.
Picked these up yesterday.

They will be going on the car soon when I fit my new front suspension and wheels etc.


Just wondering what brake pads I should get. I don't need anything special just wondering what everyone has had experiences with?
I will be using some vented and drilled discs as the car is a m40b18 powered touring.

Cheers :)

I would not bother with the extra cost of drilled discs,standard Brembo from GSF will be just fine.
I like Greenstuff pads,they last well and produce less dust than others.

The discs I already have and came on a set of 51mm struts I bought to build up. So they may aswell get used.

Thanks for the replies. Less dust wouldn't be a bad thing :)
