....and if so can I buy this product cheaper elsewhere?
And before anyone tells me........ yes I know I should be buying genuine GM parts. ;) ;D ;D

Fair few of us have expereinced brake judder with those, but yes they fit.
I ripped them off at several months old as I couldnt stand them.
-
Buy cheap ........
buy twice ::) ::) ::)
-
Mintex discs are shit :y
Apec better for similar money but not a patch on genuine...
-
You guys are not making it easy for impoverished old Opti..... :'( ;D ;D

You guys are not making it easy for impoverished old Opti..... :'( ;D ;D
We just don't want you to waste what little money you have left on inferior discs that you'll then have to replace a few thousand miles later ;) ;)
-
Put it this way, the Mintex discs fitted to mine, bought as a pair, are different dimensions... so much so that my calipers are spaced differently one side to the other or else they would foul the discs :o
I should add they are only tolerated as they are experimental, proving a concept. Funds permitting, it will be getting custom bells with AP discs, assuming I don't go down the full monty Monaro AP set up ::)

Does anyone have anything uplifting to say? ;D ;D ;D

They're cheap, I'll give you that ;D

Al, I meant something like, Mintex and genuine GM are one and the same. :y :y

They make great scrap metal?

My mistake, I thought we were discussing Mintex discs ::)
-
I haven't placed an order yet so hope still remains. :)

So how long have Genuine parts lasted or more to the point are they any good ::) Think i paid £22 for a set of pattern discs 2 year ago ;D Pads play a big part in the performance :y

I agree, Mr Emd.
There is evidence to suggest that some genuine GM parts are not of the quality they once were.......Exhausts for one. :P :P
-
Its all a bit of a minefield , i replaced some pads and discs on my fathers Toyota .. he nearly went through the windscreen when trying them out ;D but previously the brakes were soft and lacked feel. £54 for the new kit from the bay , also as mentioned using the brakes like your in an F1 race obviously wont make them last very long ;D

How about Pagid disks which I'm sure someone here reckoned are the OE manufacturers anyway. £67.08 from ECP for the pair.

Total = £88.38, so about the same as genuine VX on TC which is £90ish.

Thanks, Sir Tig.
Are you sure they are identical to genuine GM parts?

Nope. :D ;D But I think Pagid are a fairly decent brand. It might have been Mr Gixer that suggested they were OE suppliers. :-\
Can't you persuade your dealer to do them at TC prices? Maybe you should send your Sister in Law in! ;) :y

I might have said it before, but just because manufacture A makes for B & C it doesn't mean they both get the same quality .... especially if C want to sell them cheaper than B does.

Put Pagid discs all round on Mrs VXL's Alhambra along with genuine pads. Cheapest supplier of Pagid I could find was Euro Car Parts via Ebay and then pick up on the way back from work. Pagid seem to be well respected in the trade.

So how long have Genuine parts lasted or more to the point are they any good ::) Think i paid £22 for a set of pattern discs 2 year ago ;D Pads play a big part in the performance :y
You clearly aren't trying hard enough ;)
-
Yep.... I've just ordered Pagid discs and pads from ECP........ £88.38 all in.
They should arrive in a few days. :y
I've not changed discs and pads on an Omega before but found it pretty simple on the Corsa. :y
Fingers crossed. :y

Much like the Corsa only bigger,did you order pad wear sensor as it'll fall to bits when touched.

Indeed, these were VW boxed (ie Genuine VAG) pads which had Jurid engraved in the back of them in the same way the genuine GM ones for Omega's do.
I've yet to find Jurid pads for Omega other than 'Genuine GM' packaged ones.
