Apologies if this has been asked before as I should imagine it has, but couldn't find anything in search. 
The time has come to replace my front (and possibly rear) brake pads. Since this is a good opportunity to upgrade slightly without spending silly money I thought I might as well get better pads (especially as I live about an hour from the 'Ring). I've started looking around and sniffing out reccommendations, and I've ended up on one of the EBC seller's sites. Having typed in my car, options have come up for the 'Lucas' or 'Bendix' brake systems. Now I'll freely admit I'm a complete mechanical non-starter, so can anyone tell me how I can find this out? My car is an '88 Ph1 1.9 gti.
Whilst I've started this topic, are there any more reccommendations for pads? So far I've heard good and bad about EBC and mostly good about Ferodo, but none of these applied directly to a 205 - so any suggestions? It's mainly for fast road use with the occasional ring trip...
Cheers
