Hello

It's time for new discs and pads

Have found three set ups what are ok money to me lol

Can anybody give me some words off wisdom off which is better suited,

My driving style can be normal easy braking and other times I can rag it about abit

I'd go for the Brembo ones.

They're a quality, well made product that should meet the same standards as genuine SEAT ones.

If you want to really improve braking power, simply the best thing is bigger discs over the 256mm standard ones. The problem with the 1.2s is I'm told to fit either the 288mm or 312mm discs that you need different hubs. So doing the job isn't cheap.

Ferodo are very good too, but probably not worth the extra money.

Would that be with Brembo pads or with the ebc pads??

Wouldn't mind paying £11 extra if there is abit more value paying ferodo over Brembo

Thanks for you help

I think I read to many reviews and story's that I put myself off buying things

Dont upgrade to 312mm on a 1.2 its a huge waste on a car that is much better on braking due to weight.

To be honest get good pads and discs avoid the likes of the cheap jap makes, if your using it for road use it wont really matter too much. Mintex would be my bet out of that list.

There isn't a bad combination in that list.

Go for the most expensive if it makes you happy.

You tried Godfreys?

I'd match them up and go for Brembo pads and discs. Used Brembo discs before and they're fine, not used their pads but I'd be surprised if they weren't any good.
