So I've cooked the front discs and am wanting to get them and the pads replaced.

From memory they are Mintex pads and some unknown brand of discs (I remember the box they came in was green and yellow if that helps )

Anyway - apart from OE ones, are there any good brand of discs and pads I could look out for?

Are Brembo any good?

(sorry I don't know about brake discs/pads manufacturers)

The ones that are currently on there were the cheapest ones off eBay, they've only been on the car about a year or so as well
