Ok, brake pads...Ive searched but am not wise for it...

[neilmac]

Brake pads on LCR are supposed to be 80% worn. Ive done discs and pads on cars before so am going to do them myself. So I assume if I get them from Seat - I will get Brembo pads and pay around £100ish?

Ive read various things on here from the search about alternatives but then Ive equally read stories about scoring etc etc.

So if I want to keep it simple and stay standard..is there anywhere else I can go for the pads at a cheaper price or do I just go to dealer?

you wont have read horror stories about ferodo ds2500's
cheaper than dealer and better as well... no wear sensor.

i agree with bill will be fitting mine tomorrow after buying some off bill and guess where the best place to get some is......... our friend bill

yep deffo the best pads me thinks. Heard good things about Mintex Xtreme also, around £60 from demon tweeks.

Having had Ferrodo's on my old LCR's I think they are a great compromise, not too hard but give a good extra bit of bite and last well too

Hmmm...How much are we talking then for a set of erodo ds2500's for the fronts?

 

[bentaw]

£93 + £16.28 VAT + £9.50 P&P comes to £118.78

Thank you. Does anyone know how much the brembo's are aprx? or if there is anywhere else I can get them cheaper as a comparison for the ferrodo's?

Thanks - I guess the dealer the only place to get the brembo's?

Ive checked out that guide and having done lots of work on my mk3 8v golf gti before Im pretty confident doing the pads but that guide is superb in the absence of a haynes manual and will save me 'breaking' anything and learning the hard way...

Definately go for the Ferodo's DS2500 an excellent pad, better than the original pads i had.
