got v6 cally brakes on my 1.4 nova!


uprated discs with normal pads at present due to last owner....


what pads do i get for it...

always used green stuff but been told to try mintex 1144 as these keep the brakes cooler!

any one else know of this or have any ideas of what to run?

I'd stick with std GM.
Or normal Mintex ones.

I've heard green stuff suck,Lol.

Everything I've heard about EBC discs+pads has been bad. For road use I'd go for GM pads, or for fastroad+trackdays something like Ferodo DS2000's (I'm using Ferodo 3466's which the DS2000s replaced).

i have greenstuff pads with red-dot 20 groove discs on my gsi and they are quite a good set up but i have cooked them a few times and at one point when it was just greenstuff pads and std discs i managed to get them flaming lol

I smoked a set of QH discs and std Ferrodo pads, just through some backlane B-roads,Lol. Classic burning brake smell, and brake fade.

So i changed the fluid and fitted some mintex discs/pads.
There a lot better.
