   Also if you buy Berlingo calipers and carriers can you mate them to GTI discs or should you buy Berlingo discs?

   Disks might be ok
   
   green stuff pads are shit mate, better off looking at mintex 1144's
   
   If you did decide to get the 1144's might as well pair them with mintex disks too - way better setup imo.
   
   Ferodo pads are also good.

   like said, dont go with green stuff, the fade off when they get to hot is unbelieve able, you may aswell not brake tbh!!
   
   Im running citroen sport disks and mintex pads, not the M1144's though, forget what mine are, but they are very good,
   
   Even though i have warped my disks (idiot ) they stop me VERY quick, and im runnign standard size

   Where is the best place to buy them from - ebay comes up but I dont want grooved and/or drilled discs and thats all that seems to come up.
   
   Anyone got any links?

   get mintex discs and either the mintex 'xtreme' pads, 14144's or ferodo DS2500's.
   
   i've warped a few makes of disc but mintex ones seems to be taking abuse pretty well...
