in the process of gathering parts needed for conversion,so far have got:

callipers
discs (a8)
mounting brackets

I'm using mintex in mine they aren't bad and quite cheap............But next time round i'm putting in DS2500 for sure

[andyg plym]

average price is about 50english. Are mintex the cheap gsf jobbies lee?

[Big Lee M]

Don't know as i got them from are lasses dad's shop!!!!!!!!!! He deals with them so i get them quit cheap

Mintex pads used to be the ones to have and Ferodo were a poor second...funny that it is now the other way around, well at least for our cars.

That said, I still have fond memories of Mintex pads so might throw some into the monoblocks and see how they compare.

I'm running textars atm and not sure what was originally on the car but the textars are average, tbh I will probably try some ds pads soon.

has anyone tried black diamond-predator pads on the monoblocks? have them on my G60s and definately rate them!

phil s2pth (think thats his sign in) said he was running red stuff pads.

cheapest for ds2500 apparantly is corey.

I've just fitted Textars from GSF. Average performance, nothing to shout about really as they're in Porsche calipers, should be a lot better. I wish I'd gone for the Ferodo DS2500 like everyone recommended but time was of the essence.

I'll be upgrading soon though because my calipers are pretty knackered so I'll swap to the Ferodo ones then!

£41.50 mate, part number P64029

[andyg plym]

i think mine will be different as mine are the mono's probably different pads?
i did have the rs2 brakes which iirc were bigger in size than my new mono's

[nothctap]

I'm not sure on that one mate!! Will probably be around a similar sort of price but worth confirming with someone first which ones to get!

CHEAPEST SO FAR £51+VAT

think yourself lucky imine just cost 100 english pounds for pads for mine ( hawk) the blooming dollar against the pound must have caused this..
