Most cost effective to buy from Vauxhall. They do a disc and pad kit for about £100 each end :y

That might be thirty quid or so in total more than any from factors, but they'll last better, so you save in the long run :y

I have used Pagid disc's and pads for many years on different cars (and they are on mine now) and they are fine as long as your not racing. For the road they are very good and they supply many manufacturers so I personally would not bother with the O.E stuff unless it was heavily discounted.

Look Pagid up on the net and you will see their history and who they supply.

Yep Pagid discs and pads are OE for many cars (incl my Jag), but listen to the advice and experience on this forum - Vx discs and pads are best for the front on Omegas (pattern tend to "warp" quickly leading to brake judder) - rears are less critical and good pattern parts OK.
