Hi,
think the need / obligation is looming to fit new pads and discs all round - any suggestions on options - car is a C4, v. unlikley to go oon a track day - so 'gentle road use' will be the norm.

Much difference between GSF and Eurocar parts etc. etc.
THanks, T[&:]
 
If you only intend gentle road use I'd stick with Textar pads, as Pete says they are what you would get from Porsche except they're not in a Porsche box but are nearly a third of the price. The faster pads tend to need a bit more work to get the heat necessary to bring out their best and when they're cold they're not as good as standard.

I prefer to stick with Porsche discs, even with the EBC red pads I have at present. Whether there's any appreciable difference in performance I'm not sure. If nothing else it means that I don't need to paint the centres to prevent them rusting as you have to with most if not all aftermarket ones.
