CharliesStag Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 In your shoes the above will be fine with RobSport stocking these. I have also used TRW pads in my Stag with good results (CAS sell these). If you really wish to get the best braking from a stock MkII setup I can recommend the Mintex M1144s, but cheap these are not (Around £70). They do give one quite a bit more confidence in braking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 in many places it seems its cheaper to convert to stag caliper and disc as they are cheaper just look at rimmers disc and pad kit prices just a thoughtpete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag and 2000 use the same pads, Looking at the box my pads came in mgb`s also use the same pads, Have greenstuff on my mg, had them on for about 6 years now, only thing i find is that if you take it steady and use the brake gently the brake lose there bite, It only takes a bit of spirited driving to bring them backCheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
