  • Discs & pads - GM v OEM?

    Glow plugs are made by Beru too as another example.

    Go with GreenStuff pads. It'll stop the squealing that the OME pads give.

          The relationship between the composition of brake disc material??and friction pad material is ridiculously complex with a direct influence of the composition of either on the performance of the other. The only way you can establish a consistent relationship is with VX (or other manufacturer) discs and pads. If your a driving enthusiast I'd stick with original parts or upgrade discs and pads to match. It all comes down to the exact make up of the discs/pads.
