Default Sapphire 4x4 brakes advice

I’m currently looking to replace my brakes all round, nothing to elaborate. The car is stage 1 and currently has standard discs and pads, had a look on Euro Car Parts and they do a brand called Pagid, anyone have any experience if the are any good, the other option is EBC Drilled grooved discs and red stuff pads, or maybe standard discs with red stuff pads.

I’m nota mechanic guys so looking for a bit of advice. car doesn’t do huge miles as I just don’t get the time.

You are not looking for a big brake upgrade so new drilled/grooved discs standard size and something like Red Stuff Pads should be fine.

Cheers, those MTEC ones look ok and reasonablt priced not heard of them before. Is there any benefit to using standard discs with updated pads?

i would do just that if not looking for a big brake upgrade, those pads were great when I used them.

grooved discs can sometimes give a vibration through the pedal.
