Hey there!
Think its time to get some new front brake pads for my LCR and I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to whether I get BREMBO pads or FERODO etc. Can anyone shed some light on which pads to get, costs and wher's best to get them.
All help will be fully appreciated
Cheers!

Galfer supply to Brembo, who supply to SEAT, who supply to you = £130
Galfer supply to you = ~£50 std (1045) or upgraded (1055) ~£70

(pads aren't listed on the web page but just e-mail or call them)

Fitting guide should you need it.

Having tried a few different sets of pads the Ferrodo DS2500 were a great compromise, improved bite and feel with only very slightly more brake dust and no scoring.

I'd recomend trying to fit them yourself as it's remarkably easy on an LCR

i've got EBC redstuff on my LCR and they work well after a bit of warming up, they are a bit noisey though.

The only disks I have seen for LCR's are made by Brembo doubt EBC do a fitment for the LCR.

Neeleyveeley on these forums ran Greenstuff pads with OEM disks and thought they were fine IIRC, not massively better than Brembo / Galfer OEM pads
