As above, mine are quite far below half way.

Any suggestions on replacements?

Ive always used gen renault.

Worth upgrading to anything, does it actually make any difference?

Discs worth upgrading, or standard ok?

Cheers
Leigh.

ds2500 seem to have a good rep with standard discs. grooved discs work well though

Above pads work well with grooved discs maxiboy?

Grooved discs not act like a cheese grater or is it a myth?

work well with standard discs. i like grooved discs and they may use a little more pad but they keep the pad face clean and unglazed.

Nice one maxi, cheers.

Will prob have a pop at those pads and maybe upgrade the discs when more cash is available.

Flipping motoring costs, theyre never ending!

I would go with brembo max from GSF, they are only 5quid more than the standard items so can't really complain?

For pads depends what yopur going to be using it for but for fast road/trackday use I would suggest Mintex M1144's, although GSf are selling Mintex Xtreme pads now and these seem to be rebranded m1144's. They are about 40quid for a set, and will last quite a while.
