For road use that could well not be an issue and you likely still would be happy with them.
The oem GTA pads are cheapish and quietish, but thats the best that could be said of them.

Thanks TB. I was offered them for £50 from an ex GTA owner who'd bought them but sold the car before he put them on. My pads will be due changing at the next service so I thought it was worth a punt. If they're better than OEM pads I'll be happy enough.
