waste of money, vaux pads worked better on mine.
got 2l 16v brakes in the end.
best combo is grooved discs and gm pads, but to be honest there as so many brake upgrades, the 2l or v6 ones are the best option.

Nah, not heavily rated amongst the true modders out their. Mintex 1144's althogh a little more expensive give much better results. They are the Peco of brake pads it seems.

pitty they cost about 3 times as much as gm ones and dont last as long, plus they kill discs.

well despite what the others say, I like mine. There is a noticable diff over the standard ones. especially at temp. V little dust as well. Plus they wanted to cahrge me £90 quid for pads and fitting ant vaux. Paid half of that with greenstuff.

Well theirs some 4pot billet calipers and 300mm bells and rotars being made up for me at the minute. They should be on my car by crimbo, i'll be using Mintex 1155's although they need a bit of heat before they work they will without a doubt be stopping me quickly!!
