stick to normal ones imo...this blokes prices very fair

Just a gimmick on a road car, stick with standard discs and pads.

i was going to buy normal, but dont these last longer and are better breaking ?

I've heard they do provide better breaking once heated but can be a bit of a worry first thing in the morning. Personally I'd get mintex ones for the rear and save your cash for larger 312mm discs and calipers up front.

From my experience, I'd stick with using an OEM parts, grooved discs, front anyway, can be better than plain discs on cars which have "rear mounted" callipers as the grooves help to clear the water off that tends to stick to the discs and which can give you a trouser messing few moments especially in cold salty wet conditions. I have used grooved discs on my Passat for the last 4 or so years, for that very reason. Mintex is part of TMD Friction, VAG use TMD Friction products - but only pads from Textar and Pagid and not discs. Have you checked what your factory fit pads are? GSF ECR do sell Textar and Pagid and ECR also sell ATE which some VAG marques, well Seat anyway use. Just one thing, check the websites of these products and make sure that you are sold the correct ones if you want to change like for like, as both ECR and GSF, in my experience will sell you something that will do but it might not have anti-squeal fitted or wear sensors - if either of these things bother you! The reason being I think is that they want to hold the minimum range and cover the maximum models with this range.

I'm running grooved and drilled disk and found them better than the standard stuff.

In my opinion anyway................ :P lol
