   awesome pads try ebay were going to be £89 delivered for mine, but using that money to get 4pots.
   
   Meant to be well worth the cash if going on track wouldnt get them for just road use tbh

    just leave standard rears, if that bothered stick m1144 pads in but no point in anything else.
    
    front be fine with standard calipers and these pads but after a while may want bigger brakes.

    The 1144's are a good road/track combination.
    I ran these for over 30k on my old saxo and they were perfect

    Green stuff are a good price, do need warming up a little bit but are a good alround pad!
