I'm fitting new Pagid front discs, pads and sensor tomorrow ... courtesy of a deal from carparts4less recently.

Fitted the same to the rears last year, but at that time I bought Mintex, and to date they have been fine. .. and hopefully genuine ones too. Had all the holographic badges et on the boxes anyway!

Might even give the calipers a fresh lick of paint all round while I'm at it tomorrow too.

All these recent jobs ...and I'm not even driving her around!

Stay safe folks

John

Doesn't anyone do decent 'low dust' (green) pads for the front?

It also depends on a lot on the finish of the wheel, brake dust will damage the laquer/ paint surface on a wheel over a period of time. A smooth surface and the brake dust is a lot less likely to stick.

Pagid disc’s And pads all round. No probs. Same as my friend has got on his. Also no probs. Never understand why people see the need to mix and match pads and disc’s. It should be obvious that they are matched at manufacturing stage so that there is no compatibility problems in use. Simples.

We only stock Borg & Beck these days (apart from the 260 stuff) as they're the only brakes we find offer a good combination of quality, price and longevity.
66,000 miles on my ZT-T for the fronts - granted I try and carry my momentum into corners, but a good result regardless.

We have a full selection in the Shop, link below - and free postage over £50 at the moment.
