I'm shortly about to replace all brake pads on a Leon mk.2 PD140 (of which I feel is under-braked on Seat pads when braking from 70) and a Mk.5 Ibiza 1.4 petrol.

Local indie can get Brembo, Mintex and Pagid.

Anyone any experience with the above standard OE pads compared to the Seat pads?

In the past i have used both brembo and pagid, either seem to outperform the oem stuff. Can be quite a bit cheaper if you wait for one of the ECP or GSF sales too.

I haven't used oem pads/disks for a long time so can't really comment.

I find that Mintex disks and pads to be cheap enough and more than up to the job. Sometimes with just pads its Brembo's.
