New Discs and Pads

Sjdickso

Although there seems lots of meat left my car isnt pulling up like it used to so may get a new set of discs and pads.

Not hearing great stuff about Red Stuff pads and i know most forums slate Mintex although i think they have been ok.

Has anyone heard of Kinetix pads and discs?

Sjdickso

Even on 308's?

Daz

yup get the ones for the H tho as there cheaper. iirc....

Sjdickso

Thanks Daz, so you dont think the grooved disc is worth it?

Daz

Sjdickso

LOL, noticed the option after I posted so edited it in. New forum software has some nice little additions.:thumbup:

Sjdickso

Thanks for that Rushy

No worries mate. The Disk and pad kits from VX are hard to beat on price, 314's with pads still come in at £50 odd quid ex vat with VX trade club cards.

I put a set of Mintex discs and pads on mine. £70ish from Ebay. I honestly can't fault them. The brakes haven't ever felt or worked so good.

Sjdickso

Well I went with Mintex as well and they seem spot on.
