EBC usually get recommended.

To be honest, I went for the cheapest ebay supplier with decent feedback, and they turned out fine.:shrug:
This one, if I remember correctly

They are really cheap!! £65 for 4 discs & Pads set is very cheap.

MGOC ~ Standard Front Discs & Mintex pads set is £65 and the rear set is £90

MG-TR parts ~ TWR Front Discs & Pads £60 Rear discs & pads £56.40

I have always bought known branded discs and pads or OEM ones. have heard so many story's of cheap ones giving problems. however you and Adam have not had any problems with the cheapos! ~ i would still go for a known brand. :whistle:

I just ordered a full set of EBC discs and pads from Brown & Gammons. They had the lowest prices I could find on EBC by quite a bit, and their service is good. I went with the higher end product as shipping to me is 30% of the price and with my skewed logic i figured that justified getting the fancy stuff! ;) Who wants to spend a bundle airfreighting cheap parts?

Cheers,
Rich

That's a good point Rich - makes no sense paying more for shipping than the product! LOL

I totally agree, and EBC is good stuff ~ the front discs need replacing on my Honda (done 85K) and the Honda ones are £150 plus pads at £50 ~ The EBC discs and greenstuff pads from Powerstop brakes (British Motor Heritage company) are £120.00 with free delivery, one guess where i am buying from. :woohoo:
