Anyone heard of these.....they do rears as well. s:?: :?: s:?:

Seems too cheap for my liking.

I don't know, when I bought my last set of OEM pads from the dealer they were only a shade over £20 (fronts).

We share the pad size with several other cars, that's why they are cheap. Makes me wonder if we share the pad material with Yaris and alikes though s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Fronts were 29e and rears 22e over here. I'd just get the OEM, like Slacey already said. Not worth the trouble trying to find cheaper ones s8)

Exactly what I was thinking...

Didn't realise OEM ones were that cheap. Thanks guys.

And performance wise, the OEM pads worked fine at the Elvington track day a few of us went to last year. I noticed no fade at all despite a hard hour long session that left my wheels boiling hot!

Does anyone recommend those ones on ebay then?

I have also got a quote on speedways.co.uk who are charging £24 with delivery being free and that includes VAT......For the extra £2 I would feel safer for some reason.

How about brake disks? Any good ones of them on ebay? That anyone would recommend.....

go to w www.braking.co.uk w

they have just quoted me £86 including vat & delivery for front & rear pads and front discs which i thought was an ace price.

haven't actually ordered yet so not sure about the quality of the parts.

I will have to give them a try. Do you know if that price is for vented etc or just normal?

£86 is a superb price, makes you wonder if their is anything wrong as the best price by far I have had is £102 delivered and with VAT included.

Do you have a preference on them being vented etc?

they are oem standard so yes the fronts are vented. if you were ordering rears, they would be solid.

I got mine from PATRCO,,,standard mintex pad,s,,,,£63,,,,guess I was ripped off s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

So those ones from braking.co.uk are vented disks and pads? Its got to be the cheapest I have seen.

£63 for pads!!!!

The most I have seen is £40 and this was because they were uprated pads. I have been told not to go for uprated as they work best at high temperatures, and as I am only a weekend driver I wouldn't get the best out of them.....So normal it is then....

Thanks Tem.

You pointed me to these items before when I enquired about pads, and bought them.

I haven't fitted them yet but they look ok and include the squealy bits as well.
