Hi

can anyone recommend the best pads and discs to purchase for my 2020 Fabia. Has anyone had any experience with Pagid or Brembo 

Just fitted front & rear Pagid rotors and pads. Third time I've used Pagid. No issues and last longer than Brembo. Brembo are not what they used to be. Not the same quolity as motor sport range. 

ETA: Plantse posted whilst I was still typing my post, I've not altered my post (other than typo editing)

 

I fitted Pagid to front and rear of my wife's 2015 MK3 SE 1.2 TSI 90 and they were and are fine - but take little notice of of past reputations that may or may not still be deserved, like German engineering being necessarily high quality, that was last century. 

 

Brembo were of internment quality a few years back.

 

Pagid are one of TMD Friction's brands along with Textar, Mintex, Don, Cobreq and Bendix.

 

Then there's our local family brake business, now a bit bigger, EBC favoured by many.  Despite being local I've never used their products but I did used to know someone that used to work for Pagid Performance Braking a couple of decades.

 

I think it's Carlston and others that like ATE, again I've never used them.

 

Anyone my age would probably have used Mintex over the decades.

 

Do bear in mind the tyres are also important to the braking system (and steering and suspension) they need to be in good condition regardless of tread depth left on them or age.

 

Clean and lubricate the other brake parts as required when changing and us new fittings where required (Pagid rear pads included screws).

 

Changing the pads and discs on my wife's 2015 MK3 SE 1.2 TSI 90 were the easiest brake changes I've done in my limited experience of doing such, so I done posts with notes for those that are interested.

Many thanks for the advice. Much appreciate 

If you have chosen Pagid, just in case that you don't know, and I didn't until AFTER I bought new rear discs and pads for my wife's 2015 Polo, Halfords prices for Pagid and some other brands of brake parts, are lower than that being charged by ECP even when you order online from ECP.

 

Halfords order in these brake parts from ECP, so order ahead so that you can put up with the 2 hours or 1 or 2 day delay in your order being ready for collection from Halfords.

 

The difference in price between these two places, for Pagid re-manufactured callipers, is quite significant - and for some reason Halfords do not require the old calliper back!

I can highly recommend ATE or Brembo.
