Have fitted most brands to various cars over the years and aside from the really cheap brake pads there is not much difference in the life durability of the recognised brands. GM are ok but so are pagid, mintex, brembo ferrodo etc, wouldn't buy eicher or brake engineering

If anyone finds a how-to on youtube or anything, feel free to post!
This is for the siggy's rear brakes but the principle is the same, main thing is to clean the pad carrier and hub flange properly.
Use silicone grease for slides never use copperslip

I'm in the same boat jamdex need to replace all 4 corners though on a cdti 160 - have been looking at ebc dimpled and grooved rotor but for some reason can only get green or yellow stuff pads - no red stuff.??Would be interested to hear from people with experience using aftermarket rotors and pads which is the best way to go.
Also, I've noticed when I use any part finder for my car that the discs come in either 296mm or 321mm - I'm going to measure mine this weekend to make sure before I order but I would like to fit the 321mm if I could - can I fit the 321's if it's 296's that are on it just now?
Sorry if that a daft question but I haven't really tinkered with cars much before.
Any help / advice would be much appreciated.

yes you can just bolt on bigger discs,but you will need caliper carriers and calipers also. My bet is yours has the 321s already as it's a 160. Have you vented rear discs or solid???If vented rears then you have the bigger fronts2015 Sri vx line nav BiTurbo . Sri heated leather.5500k AFL .
