Can't find decent brake pads for my 406 Brembos!

14th September 2011, 20:48

Have done a search but hasn't brought anything up. As title really, plenty of front brake pads for 406 coupes that look nothing like what I've got, thought it'd just be a case of buying some decent pads for the 3.0 V6 coupe but it seems they weren't all fitted with Brembo 4 pots! There's some really cheap (£20) pads that look like what I need on Ebay, but I keep thinking they sound far too cheap to be any good?

Plus I'm not sure what pads I should go for, what brands are good? Mintex or EBC?

If anyone has a link to a good set of pads for these brakes that don't cost the earth it'd be much appreciated!

Only the very late coupes didnt have brembos fitted.
Most people stick to galfer pads, which are the orginal supplier.
I run these on my v6 and have never had a problem with them. Even when repeadly breaking from high speed.
