yes as I said they are basically thick copper so compress over any little bits of uneven shape on your mounting surfaces

oem all the way! most aftermarket pads are rubbish until at higher operating temps which for road use is rarely ever occurring and means when cold you have next to nothing brake feel/performance wise compared to oem

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] fibreglass and carbon bits

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Air con rad removed, compressor belt?

it will cause some loss, very little though as it is drag on the moving parts as its still causing friction, get rid of the pump as well as trust me when you remove it you will love how heavy it is, so always a good dead weight item to remove!!! also will save some mpg as weight = less mpg :)
