best best brake pads for Viento... (Sierra)?
I am going to fit a new set for the next IVA attempt and try to bed them in a bit prior to the test- the set I currently have on are 5 yrs old and bog
standard- anyone recommend a brand that works well for fast road and don't take a age to warm up?
Thanks

Try EBC, they have an advice line which will sort you out.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Also, you should delete this thread and put it in the running Gear section, the problem isn't unique to Vientos

I have just ditched my greenstuff pads as useless and fitted mintex 1144. Totally transformed and obvious from the first time I touched the brake
pedal 50 yards from my front door. Have done trackdays since and they work better and better, just great. I think the greenstuff pads just never got
hot enough to work in a light car like a seven. Mintex worked from the get go long before they were bedded in. And no squealing.

Dumb Question, where can one get these 1144 pads from?
Most places just say Front pads for Sierra 1800, and the year span, etc etc.
Cheers

You can get the exact sizes off the mintex website, and the pads from rally design
