Hi Guys

My brake pads need replacing and VW are charging me a arm and a kidney for it. So, I'm going to get it done else where?

Can some one tell me which is a good type to put on? Preferably the types that don't squeak so much......

Thanks guys

Either Ferodo Ceramics or Ferodo Platinums.

Ferodo Plats from Goldwagen. R140 for solid discs and R160 for vented discs.

Where do you live? I would go with Ferodo Platinums sould be around R250-R300. If you live in JHB you can come to my place and i will do it for you? ITs a real easy job takes about 20 min for both sides...

and if that Velo still came out with solid discs,buy the vented ones at Goldwagen and feel the amazing difference.I would go with Platinums,but that s my personal choice.

Thanks guys for the advice. Ferodo Plats it is then. Going to pop into Goldwagen during my lunch break.

Thanks fatbastard for the offering to help, but I have changed them before, going to try it again.

Oh, one last thing, what size hexagonal key is used to remove the bolts for the brake calliper.

Much appreciated.
