OEM brake set up or OEM plus ferrodo front pads

[Stefan.]

After abit of advice really boys and girls, is it worth just getting the oem set up or adding the ferrodo pads upfront aswell

No track days intended may i add just the odd spirited drive here and there and normal driving to work and back

P.s when buying pads and it says a set does that mean 2 pads or 4 pads....as disc brakes come in pairs im unsure what the pads come in

Any help is much appreciated

I just use brembo hc's and either the EBC ulimax pads or mintex oe spec ones. Pretty decent setup and only costs around £65

I've got Brembo HCs and Ferodo OEM spec pads and I'm yet to need more braking power. I quite rate them to be honest!

A set of pads usually means a set of 4 so 2 for each side.

i found brembo HC's and mintex m1144's to be a decent road setup.

I've got Brembo HCs and Brembo pads form G172 in the traders section they're spot on for me, cheap as well.
I nearly head butted the windscreen the first time I pressed them hard. lol

Brembo HC's, Ferodo DS2500, braided lines and decent fluid = awesome fast road set up

I forgot i've got braided lines aswell lol,
easy upgrade but worth it.

This is what I am now changing to. It's probably the best choice I would say. Pads are a bit more expensive but its reflected in the performance

+1. It's what is on mine and the stopping power is plenty.

Personally I'd pick mintex standard pads over the standard ferrodo offerings, but if you can afford it get the DS2500. You wont be disappointed

''Fred'' 565H (IIRC) type DS2500

If you really need to go to DS2500 on the road, you need arresting!
On track that's different.
