   Hi,
   
   Can anyone recommend hew brakes and pads for my VTS,
   
   as you may see from my other forum message i think i need new brakes and pads,
   
   i dont want to pay too much out for them and would like front, back pads and brakes also what do you all think of EBC brakes and pads are they worth it, should i use the pads on what ever discs i get??
   
   i used to have grooved and cut shaped discs on my corsa along time ago and also had green stuff pads on them but they made noises cos of the grooved discs do they do this on all grooved discs? not sure what to get.
   
   thanks mike

   iv just bought front and rear brembo discs, with apex pads. (not been fitted yet) cost me about £90 for the lot.

   Mintex M1144's and Maxtorq discs are a good setup.

   have a look on kamracings website, ive just ordered the fast road set up, should be good.
   
   don't need new brake lines unless there leaking, ages ect
   
   and you will need to top up any brake fluid leaked when you are changing them, or you could flush the system and re-fill
