Been looking at these are they any good? Want something thats goona take a bit of a spirited drive once in a while.

Also people can you reccomend me a good disc and pad. Think i have warped my disks as terible viration now whilst braking. I have some spare 308's just want a good pad or am i better going for both disc and pad.

I've been looking at greens, are they any good or is it worth going for a red?

The reason i say reds is because my car is 0ver 200bhp as the advert or slogans say but i don't do track days so need for anything.

So we thinking standard discs with pads then?

Mine never felt sharp and felt spongey. OE pads performed better imo.
Never really had too many opportunities to get them to optimum temp on the road...

I had Redstuff pads in High-Spec 4pots on my old Pulsar and even on track they didnt seem to bite as hard as expected.On the road they were shite.They stopped well but lacked the initial bite.

I had yellowstuff, now don't get me wrong a lot of people think the yellowstuffs are brilliant but it seems that they work better on lighter cars so a Corsa they might be fine but I wouldn't risk it knowing that the Mintex1144's are brilliant all the time.

I went straight from yellowstuff to 1144's and the difference was immediate.
