Brake Pads

Looks like mine may be on the way out - all 4. Can anyone advise on the best thing to do - replace with standard or upgrade? I need to keep it cheap but when something goes it's always a chance to upgrade

Any recommendations?

UPGRADE! diamond black pads are my recommendation

Any idea how much a set of those bad boys would be?

I've got a Demon Tweeks catalogue in front of me on my desk here at work

Their costs for a pair of Black Diamond Predator pads are Â£55 for a Golf G60 so should be around Â£50 for the Polo I would have thought?

EBC Greenstuff are about Â£45 per pair, Pagid fast road pads (from GSF) are about the same I think. So budget Â£50 per pair of brake pads and you can have the pick of the bunch IMHO.

HTH!

I've just got some ebc greenstuff pads from tweeks for less than 40 quid and am about to fit those and fully flush the brake system, i'll let you know what they're like

Thanks guys. Do you know how this compares to a standard pair of brake pads?
