    Hey as above ive been looking on kamracing for my wish list lol anyway im thinking brembos for the front ( as i have gti 6 calipers) and mintex for the back and yellowstuff pads.

    Anyway what do you think? would these be more for trackdays etc i dont mind spending the money i just dont want to run round with squeaky brakes.

    EBC yellow stuff pads are for EBC discs only. Don't mix and match as you won't get the full performance and you might end up damaging pads and wasting money.

    I'd recommend MinteX discs and M1144 track/hilllclimb pads.

    Sorry but thats rubbish. Theres nothing special about EBC discs. The Brembos are a good quality and are cheap.
    If the car is used on the road then the Mintex pads do the job nicely. If venturing out on track then Ferodo DS2500 are a good allrounder.

    Just what I've heard from other car club forums.

    I don't rate EBC discs anymore anyway.
