I reckon im in need of new disks and pads all round, what disks and pads do you all recommend?
Are you sure you need front AND rear? have you measured them?
There is either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) - OES (Original Equipment Service), or Aftermarket.
OEM are the original brakes the cars were made with
OES are aftermarket brakes sold by the OEM
Aftermarket are reverse engineered/'copied' from the OEM - or sometimes worse, copied from other aftermarket products.
Don't believe ANY aftermarket brand saying 'OE Equivalent' this is just marketing BS.
For road use the best will be OEM - but these will generally (not always!) be most expensive.
OES are generally reasonable - but this depends on who the VM is - some are just aftermarket pads with a VM
sticker.
Aftermarket pads are a real mixed bag - some are awful, and use 1x friction material to cover 1500 different parts from a mini to a RangeRover! some are very good and perform better than the OEM. Even with the best aftermarket brakes is the
problem is they still can't test every part the way the OEM would develop a brake.
Discs are more of a commodity, pick a High Carbon disc, and any disc which has R90 should be machined to a reasonable standard.
Don't believe big name brands - are the same as the Original Equipment parts for a cheaper price - they are NOT. They are still aftermarket, usually with a brand sales agreement, and probably priced higher of the back of the 'big name'
If the price is similar then no question - get OEM discs and pads.
If there is a reasonable saving - do your research which is best for your particular car.
Even the best brake parts can be noisy/judder etc.. if fitted incorrectly - most important is the thoroughly clean the hub and then clean it some more and measure disc installed run-out - and make sure then pads/pins/pistons are free/NOT seized/stiff.
