cheapest place for brake pads

[torqueofthedevil]

im after ds2500 or mintex 1144 (i think) for a 306 gti-6

i reckon the ferrodos will be better - any experiences of the two?

cheers

1144 is a road pad, wasnt really even enough on my caterham on track, let alone a twice the weight hatchback, 1155s are better but still not great, 1166s better again but not great.

The 2500s have so many folks who hate them (I've never run them, have used 3000s tho) with others at that level I'd not bother.

I get on well with ebc yellows in most track cars, not pagid rs29 good at all which are generally the daddy- but for cost of 2 sets of front & 2 sets rears = 1 set of just fronts for pagids I can live with that & better in 1 ton area cars than the heavier ones.

I run DS2500 on my M3 (heavy car) and quite happy overall on track and road.

ds2500 dont cope with very high temps - ie they dont like E46 m3 AP fronts but they work fine on E46 m3 rears and all road conditions

I got my DS2500's for my Caterham from here http://www.performance-braking.co.uk/contact-us/. No complaints with the pad either.

I previously bought some DS2500s from europerformance.co.uk
