Brake recommendations - ZS180
 
Ok, so my 180 is up for MOT, but the rear brakes could do with being replaced. The fronts areok for another few thousand.

I'm wanting something "fast road" but not excessively expensive. Full set is needed, ie discs and pads.

What are your recommendations? I did have Greenstuff (?) in the ZR

Wouldnt recommend EBC tbh, never found them very confidence inspiring.

OE are highly recommended by some, other wise mintex or Ferodo. Depends how hard you want to brake and how much you want to spend.

To be honest, I don't exactly brake hard, I tend to just slack off and bleed speed off. But I still like to know that they'll stop me quick when I need to.

I'd go OE or Mintex personally. Cant remember which Mintex pad was most preferred. As standard the 180 brake setup is very good.

Minted drilled and grooved all round. Let's see how that works then...

I have those on mine, got them in Feb when I got the car. The car stands on its nose.

Get OE (Mintex) for mine, as one of our suppliers is a X-part supplier!

Got the rears on mine and they are well worth the money !! I'm doing the fronts too when the pads are due !!

Got Mintex disks and pads on mine - full set £120, don't look quite as nice as the drilled but can't fault stopping power
