VRS Front Brakes

[J306TD]

Think my front brakes are going to need replacing soon. What brake brands are you guys using? It's just for normal road use. No track days

Unless you intend to drive quicker than the average Dave then I'd stick with OEM or at the very least a reputable pattern part manufacturer.

Pagid from Eurocarparts. Discs and pads are both outstanding.

I went the MTEC route, grooved and dimpled discs with mintex pads, recommended by quite a few on here and they have been great so far.

 

Slightly cheaper than standard fit, and they do look quite good with the anti corrosion coating as well.... if thats a consideration

Ferodo all the way best disc and pad combination on the aftermarket line

Garage did say that's what they would fit. Their premier ones I believe

Nought wrong with the stock rotors for road use, though some of the other 3rd party products mentioned might actually be cheaper to buy and perhaps of better quality.

If they are selling and fitting Ferodo you can't go wrong specially there premium brand more expensive range than all above but quality is second to none.. they are also changing the whole range to coated now but they haven't changed over the VRS set up yet...

Do you know when the VRS ones will be changed over?

I don't unfortunately Ferodo are doing batches at a time I'm hoping it won't be long as I'm holding out for mine they have done about 65% of the range now... I should know really I'm a branch manager at a certain factors who supply them haha
