    DBA Rotors and Brake Pads.

    Can anyone give me info on what rotors I need?

    Any info about them. Part Numbers etc.

    I know alot of you have tried EBC greenstuff and Ferodos. Is there anything else?

    Bendix, but I'm going with Ferodos as I've browsed heaps of different tuner forums and i've only ever heard great feedback...

    I always got on well with Pagid pads. They are another OE supplier I believe and they do road and race compounds.

    best way to go about it is to make an assessment about how you will 'realistically' use your car. if you only use a track occasionally and spend most of your time on the road, then going big rotors and hard pads will be overkill. most companies make performance/track pad as well as race pads, but many just jump into race pads and rotors without giving it much thought. EBC Greens are ok and cost half the price of Ferodo - Ferodo are good, 2500s are popular but are more race orientated and will wear rotors quickly. It seems we're a bit limited on what we can get for the polo gti (unless you go big brakes kits, and big bucks).

    I found part pad numbers.

    Have had heaps of trouble finding a dba part number. Cause they dont make a disk for the polo.
