    Default Better Brake Pads Needed

    Hi,

    Just returned from holiday with 4 adults, dog, disability scooter and all the luggage. On the trip I noticed the brakes were not quite as good as I wanted.
    Can anyone recommend replacement brake pads for better performance. My Veccy is a 2.2 direct auto elite.
    Thanks guys.

    Not experimented with pads for years, but i can say best bang for your buck would be 314 calipers with genuine discs and pads kit from GPS for about £65.

    They did really well on my tuned cdti didnt they?

    ​if I were you, id get the system checked as you may have air in the system, if not then id bleed and new fluid in..........as for pads......id buy OEM pads as these are what they came out the factory with.
