Front brakes?

[SimonWS]

Now that I've got the great value OEM rear discs (and Mintex pads) I might as well fit new front discs and pads on my 98 V6 Cougar.
There seems to be 1000's of makes and prices - any recommendations or do you just buy "anything" (I'd prefer OEM if possible and need the pads with sensors)

Thx

I fitted Mintex to my first Cougar and was pretty disappointed with them, they didn't last very long either I recall.
Delphi have a good name, some discs here for £48, I have no personal experience with these though

Is there a difference?

 

[Quicksilver]

Yes, on the front.

 

[TopCat1127]

Delphi discs and pads every time for me, no fade and they brake very well, and I've driven lots of cougars with various brakes

 

[Pid_16V]

Is there a difference?

V6 fronts are bigger.

 

[Rickysmith189]

V6 fronts are bigger.

Oooh I thought they both shared the same parts apart from the engine lol...
Sorry I take it back, ignore me

 

[SimonWS]

Thanks I might give the Delphi ones a go then

Sorry I added it to the eBay listings because I buy nearly everything from there!

Having just spent the last week driving Tony's Goblin, I will agree with the suggestion of Mintex.

I've got genuine Motorcraft on Tiger and to be honest, the're not a patch in the Mintex, (Tony - you've still got standard-sized disks and calipers on the front, haven't you?). They grab well even when cold, and they don't fade like the Motorcraft ones do - though to be fair, I haven't been driving Goblin the same way I would drive Tiger.

ECP value ones. Unless you're in the BTCC it makes little difference.
