Brakeparts are only listing Bremtech discs for the ATE calipers, not ATE discs.  :confused:

Having done a bit of checking, Bremtech as a company are listed at the same address as Brakeparts. So they're looking like a rebranded cheap product playing on the Brembo name implied association at a guess.  I wonder if they've got block exemption certification?

Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

I got rear Pagid discs and pads a few months back from eurocarparts after some research. Have no complaints at all with them, although as they are rears they do less of the braking anyway

Plus there are always dIscounts to be had at eurocarparts  :happy2:

i've seen some pagid discs and pads on europarts for my car which = £155 after discount code its like £109.. just phoned a garage and they said they will put my brakes etc for £40.. or if they supplied them £140.. I asked what they supply and he told me brembo? I checked brembo pads and theyre around £100 aswell on another site.. so the final question is.. pagid £109 ment to be £155 v brembo £100? need to know asap.. don't know which to choose! thanks

If you're talking about front discs then to supply genuine Brembo 312s and Brembo pads for £100 is imo a decent deal..
Nothing wrong with the Pagids and they are an OE equivalent brand but the disc quality of the Brembos is better and especially if it's cheaper, so a no brainer really...
Just make sure you do actually receive Brembo parts though  :wink:
