   Im needing to get some new brake discs and pads for mot time and was just wondering whether its better to just stick with replacing with standard or go for some drilled/grooved? mintex? green stuff etc... ?
   
   budget is £100-140

   Go for Maxtorq Group N disks and Mintex 1144 pads, that's my opinion anyway. Maxtorqs aren't drilled or grooved, they are a complete disk which provide more braking area.
   
   Good luck.

   These Mintex could be used on road? Or just for track use?
   And the Maxtorq are a good upgrade? I think i can use this one in Citroen Ax.
   
   Thanks

   The mintex 1144 can be used on the road.
   With the AX you have a different pad shape, though no doubt its easy to convert to Saxo VTS calipers and brake discs.
   
   The total comes to £160 though so to get within your budget you would need to go for Mintex oe spec pads.
