Can anyone recommend a decent/cheap website for some rear discs and pads. Nothing too special id be happy with just some new standard or new mintex?

I bought some Brembo ones from ebay, they are only cheap but they have been fantastic upto now! Must have done 10,000 miles since fitting them and they still feel like new!

If you could mate it would be much appreciated

Lee can you not paint over the current ones? What would you want for them? And what sort of mileage the done?

You really need new discs for the paint to bond properly. I'll have to work out what mileage they've done but to be honest most of it has been motorway driving to Ford Fair / Middlesbrough and The Lakes.

£30 for Discs and Pads is a decent enough deal to be fair... especially if they are grooved discs!

That sounds crackin mate. Before i do though, i have seen a set of new montex discs and pads from sellers on ebay for £40. Is there any difference in quality? Is it worth the extra £10?

Mintex do varying quality of pads - which is reflected in their prices
