Rear brakes
« on: May 29, 2014, 06:10:18 pm »
Having just been to the garage to see about a squealing noise from my rear brakes, i have been diagnosed with them being app seized eg piston not moving etc.   The cars still drivable but obv they arent working to how they should be...  dilemma is do i buy oem parts at £140 ish each or the ones from euro car parts which are a brand called trw which are cheaper.... or source a set of second hand ones either off this forum or off the bay??

What do people think?   cheers

Ah ok, I've never heard of them so was a bit wary, however just seen that Biano44 had some ed30 rears for sale and after enquiring if they fit or not,  ive bagged them which is a result  :happy2:
