Where to purchase new front pads
« on: July 28, 2010, 05:30:20 pm »
I can get 15% discount from the stealers for front pads. Thats for OEM pads only, which with VAT is £52.

Does anyone know of any makes of pads thats worth fitting instead for simular sorta money,With better braking in their experiance.

cheers

cheers Rob for that too. 40% off genuine pads are a very good deal aswell.

Did i read somewhere that there is a type of pad that fits the standard caliper that gives better breaking ??

Try your local Andrew Page (if you have one nearby) for Bosch. Eurocarparts sell Pagid OE pads.
