    brake pads

    anybody recommend some cheapish brake pads? thinking £40 -£50 for front set, its only for road use atm, but want something half decent, ferodo ds2000?

    i have read some old posts and it seems everyone is saying stay away from green stuff?, and recommending corbone lorraine rc5 but at £85+ there a bit steep,

    also while i have been looking around a lot of pads say for bendix, others lucas, didnt know they were different calipers, is this from phase 1 & 2 cars then?

    my calipers are bendix, so im guessing lucas pads dont fit then?

    help!

    Ta!

    If it's only for road use I'd just use standard pads

    Standard pads are more than up to the job. I'm running Halfords spec and they're great.
    GSF or Euros will be a better price though.

    went into halfords and had a look yesterday and had to laugh, they listed under renault 5 gt turbo 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7!

    is it any wonder im confused!

    anyway went into a local factors i use today and found out they are a ferrodo dealer, managed to get a set of ds2000 for £27, result!
