Brembo or Pagid Discs/Pads

Post by Tymondo »

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask a quick question to gather the thoughts of the experts prior to making any irrational decisions. The time has come for the front brake pads and discs to be replaced and i wanted to ask what people’s views where on Brembo v Pagid.

Price different is very little £150 (Brembo) v £120 (Pagid) and i have seen people use both and be happy with the results. I’ve always acted on the understanding that the better quality stuff tends to not only have better performance but have a greater longevity and therefore be more economical in the long run but given there is only £30 difference between the 2 i guess its purely performance here?

My car is a 2010 DSG 170 TDI so i believe i need the 312mm discs?

Happy for any info :nod:

Hi Zip, Sorry i dont come on the forums to much anymore.

I went for the Brembo's, they seem to be doing ok and i have no regrets chosing the Brembos. I hope this helps
