Finally! New discs & pads needed
After 16 years it's time to refresh the brakes!
I'm only looking for road use, so assume OEM is the way to go?

Finally!
Would be nice to cut down on the dust though...
Looking on ECP there seem to be a few choices for pads, are ATE the best on there? And do I have to add wear sensors to both separately?

Textar E-pads for the WIN.
Been using them for years. Dust is minimal and performance is tip top.

They're perfect for my style of driving which admittedly isn't overly aggressive or spirtited, but on the few occasions I had to brake sharp a few times they're fine. Very progressive with good bite and they last forever.
Can imagine you could probably also track them without issue.

Where are people getting the Textar E pads from?
I am seeing Textar standard on ECP/Carparts4less (although both show them as currently unavailable), but not the E pad.
Oh, and where can you get Textar from for the rears? Halfords (again only showing standard not the E ceramic, unless that has become their standard) only has fronts.
