steel pads with fiber disks or carbon disks. they give the most consistant bite, lasst for ages to, you usualy find that the wheel square rounds out well before the disks wear to thin, cheap price for super brakes.

I did lol
When using front or rear discs on a LS car its better to use steel wheel squares, the alloy ones don't stand a chance. Harm or Mecatech brakes are the ones to go for with Oddified pads & Oddified larger discs. On the rear its best to stick with the layshaft brake, as using discs on the rear of an offraod car is not a good idea. Sell the Leopard & get a Hormann

agreed a hormann is far better right out of the box and you can get base cars for naff all or teamkit cars secondhand for under a grand rtr usually! (cheaper than adding alloy to an fg in the long run)
