Hi Guys,
Age old thread of me buying brake pads.
Im currently running LUCAS 266mm calipers but need to replace the pads.
Ideally looking at something half decent for track but also not the break the bank as im low on funds.
From my previous thread im seeing...
Green Stuff
Mintex 1144s
Ferodo ds2500's
If anyones got time to be of hunting to help me it would be much appreciated.
Also are the rear pads the same for all disc beam 306s? Is it worth putting anything decent on the back?

I can usually get ebc/mintex/ferodo/pagid performance pads at decent money, if you want me to have a look.

You can definitely greenstuff for the Lucas'. Think you can the Mintex as well. Its Bosch that tend to be more of a pain.
And the rear pads are the same on all 306s yeah, same as 106s etc as well...

You could just buy my nice Bosch 307 266mm setup complete with Bluestuff NDX in, swap 'em, and sell your old ones
You can get 1144's for 'em, cause I had those in before the Bluestuff..

Cheers Tom.
Just bought those green stuff pads as I cant afford the others atm. Ive had green stuff pads in the past and thought they were pretty decent.
