    hey,

    My sax needs sum new brakes front and back. I currently have citroen standard ones on the back, and greenstuff pads on the front which i was quite impressed with.

    But the guy at my garage is trying to talk me into some Brembo ones for front instead of more Green Stuff pads. Apparently they're used on subaru's etc, and r really good.

    Has anyone heard of em, tried em, can recommend them? Or shud i just stick with GreenStuff?

    Also for the rear, will a cheaper set do since only 10% of the braking is done at the rear? Or shud i get somethin decent for the rear too?


    All recommendations/advice will be very much appreciated.

    Cheers gents (and ladys)
