   Hey up, seen this on eBay:
   
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAXO-VTR-VTS-G...QQcmdZViewItem
   
   Will be upgrading the brakes in the near future, and was going with Ferodo DS2500 pads and vented discs, but what are peoples thoughts on these?
   
   Bargain or not??
   
   Thanks

   ive looked at these before. im just abit concerned at how good the metal is used for the disc's incase they warp or anything. just get a GTI6 or 206 GTI180 upgrade like i have mate

   ive herd that EBC is not the best brand to get, go for black diamond or brembo, look at it thsi way, how many race cars use EBC ?

   Yeah i'm not really after the 'best brand' i'm after a set of good brakes that will be an improvement over standards.
   
   Lucky it isnt a race car then! LOL!

   lol i no what u meen, they are a good upgrade from standard, but ive drove an mg zr with big calipers, ebc grooved and drilled disks and green stuff pads and under heavy braking u can actually hear that the pad is not biting on the disk as much as it should do, they are a little better but to b honest you would probs get better results getting some black diamon disks etc they are only 10-30pound more pal
