Recomendations needed! - brake discs / pads
Looking to get some new brake discs and pads, ive read on the forum that mtec discs/pads are actually reasonable
Just wondering if its worth the extra money getting uprated discs and pads? And if so any recommendations would he welcome

I don’t see the point of upgrading to the current brakes unless you’re tracking or driving really fast on the roads, so stick to OEM disc and pads.
Next Best option is to get some Accord type r front callipers ans carriers (dual pistons) and then have OEM 300 ATR discs and pads. That’s what I have on my Type-S.

Ive always stuck with oem spec discs and pads but i got given a set of uprated front discs and they do make a difference. Cant remember what make they were.
Bremdo,Padgid or Blueprint make good discs/pads OEM equivalents.
I wouldnt bother looking to upgrade the rears in any way

I run Bremtech 8 grooved disks on the front with Ferodo DS2500 pads. Delphi rear disks with Pagid pads. Track on the front and OEM equivalent spec on the rear. Works very well for me but my car is mostly driven on track with road driving being to and from track and the odd weekend fun ride out. Bites very hard when heated up and doesn't fade. Have to be careful when they are cold.

Yep thats them - VTTR discs - i run them with OEM pads which is fine for daily driving - if i was to do any track days would prob need to upgrade to ATR front calipers&carriers.newkid wrote:
These by any chance @vanzep? There vttr discs. As said decent discs and pads make a huge difference. I run the mtec stuff on the front of the torneo and no problems so far.
The ATR calipers and carriers are a straight swap onto the lude - only issue is clearance so larger diameter wheels needed
