Guys

I am struggling with search at the moment (posting from Blackberry)

What are the Tuscan rear pads from? Does anyone have good ones to recommend? I assume they are relatively easy to change, any tips?

I have recently replaced mine with yellowstuff on the front and rear. They were very cheap, around £110 for both!

I read lots of bad reviews and lots of very good reviews stating that the compound has changed and are much better now.

For some reason the pads were much cheaper for a mk1 than a mk2.

I have only done about 150 miles on them and with no hard use but all i can say is initial bite is good but they seem to lock pretty easily, not sure if this is down to compound or just because they are new and better than my old pads.

Calipers are from a cosworth but i can't say which model.

Very easy to change, just remember that when you push the pistons in you have to tap them round as they are threaded (took me bloody ages to work that one out :hehe )
