Default Anyone recommend discs and pads?

Hello,


So i am after ST 170 discs and mondeo pads (all front) to go on the fiesta! Dont wanna spend too much but also no cheap shit that will kill me!

Would like drilled and/or grooved for looks

These any good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-DRIL...ht_3042wt_1377

I hear EBC yellow stuff pads are good but need time to heat up to work? What are red/green stuff pads like?

Post links please

Many Thanks Eigdoog.

Ive got 17's on so should be ok.

With the yellow stuff, do they need heating up before they become really good or are they good from cold for road use? Are they really worth the extra £50 to mintex ones ?

Green stuff is to braking what coarse sand is to vaginal lubrication
