Reviews of Girling brake pads

I think those are only on mk1's. The only bad thing about them is they are so old the the surface the brake pad ears slide on gets worn so the pads get more play. If it's bad enough, the anti-rattle clips tend to fall out and then they really rattle. Nevertheless, still way better than the old square girlie pad system.

The G60 brake pads are roughly 2/10" inch thicker than MKII GLI/MKIII 2.0 pads, which means the calipers will stick out 2/10" inch further, and possibly bind with your wheels. I went through this issue, so I swapped in MKIII 2.0 brake pads and resolved the issue.

As far as wear goes...I still cant tell a difference. I never changed the pads on my G54s in 3 years and there was plenty left. In on 4 years on the G60s and they are lookin somewhat due for a change but thats more crappy wear then wore out.
