Pads recommendation?

Post by Gayno » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:15 pm

So my OEM pads aren't really up to the job, so looking to upgrade.

What do people suggest?

Please bare in mind I don't use the car every day, so not looking to spend a fortune. Also discs and pads were new last year and only only around 2500 miles use, so would prefer pads that will work with OEM discs.

Also all 4 calipers were refurbed last year, so that is not the cause of my problems!
