what brakes are better (discs and pads). i have a mk4 fiesta 1.25 and need to change discs and pads and was wondering what ones would be better bearing in mind they are nearly the same price and i have standard brakes at the moment and they aren't that brilliant. The discs are shot and the pads are nearly gone as well. thanks in advance

seeems to be a reoccuring pattern here

It's Czech Mate

Standard zetec-s vented discs and mintex 1144 or mintex extreme pads.

Black diamond discs are ok, much less prone to being totally shit than ebc lol

will i need the zetec s calipers? are the zetec s discs bigger than my standard discs? thanks

a mate fitted black diamond discs to his Tractor (scobby) and they warp'd with in 1000 miles of road use, (not even very hard miles, as he's a tart and just uses it on sundays)

Oddly EBC discs/pads have passed the POLICE PURSUIT vehicle tests, black diamond didn't!!

Ebc ones are wank. Had them on my S2 & they didnt take much to warp them. Cant comment on black diamond.

i used ebc on my cossie with green stuff pads and they have been spot on, but then whatever people use is always the best !!

ive had black diamonds on my saff at 350 bhp for ages and not had a problem yet at all.

but i will say also ebc do say THEMSELVES greenstuff pads should not be used in cars over 200bhp. you should be on red stuff for over that or heavy cars.

i sell both at the shop i work at and i know where my money is.
