Pads and discs

I’ve just renewed my front discs and pads only last Friday.

I’ll let you know how I get on with them.

Andy you have a RS , if you could afford to buy one don’t compromise on cheapies , buy what they came with ok pads do give a lot of  brake dust , especially on the black alloys change them to yellow or blue theirs plenty out there ,as for drilled or grooved discs downside is premature brake rotor wear, short rotor life spam ,steering wheel vibrations , plus you can’t resurface Rotors . Just a suggestion good luck keep us all updated as to what path you choose . 👍👍

Sorry for confusion my friend what colour ALLOYS do you have at moment, as everyone to there own I’m on black alloys blue callipers standard speck for nitrous blue , lots of folks have changed alloys or just powder coated in different colours , I do think get the wheels right with the callipers and a nice set of bad boy brakes set the car up nicely. 👍👍

Most people have upgraded to EBC (grooved etc) and yellow stuff pads.

Mine previously had mountune discs and ford pads which I thought were good enough.

I replaced mine just after lockdown and due to no EBC or mountune discs available I went with pumaspeed j hook discs and mountune pads. Discs were grey which I hate.

I read somewhere about having to warm up yellow stuff pads for better braking, what I’m not sure about is, if you have to do this all the time which I cba with. I keep imagining the one little stretch where I need to break hard and the pads aren’t up to temp and don’t stop me properly. Lots on here have this combo so they could answer this which could also help me decide.

It’s either EBC and yellow stuff pads or mountune discs and pads for me which I’ll be replacing Feb/march time

I have found the standard ones bloody good but as I will be buying new dust shields and powdercoating them at work in NB as can’t stand my black wheels going brown I might upgrade at same time!

@Elliot are these what you have? With the yellow stuff pads are they good to go straight away or do they need warming up… if it’s the case they are as good as the standard RS ones when cold but then even better when warmed up that is fine by me 😎

Can’t see why not. Back in the good old days (40 yrs ago) we hardly ever had to change disc’s, they were made of better stuff.
