Title: Brake pads
Post by: tooleater on 15 February 2015, 17:13:54

Not had to replace these in 4 1/2 years, display now showing. Is it always GM or personal preference guys..

Think basically it's down to preference[no doubt I'll be corrected on this]but from what I've seen on here GM offer very good value particularly if you have or have access to trade club.

Disc and pad 'kits' were always pretty good value on TC :y

Personally I would only fit VX discs and pads which come as a set like already said. Be tempted to get the brake pad sensor too whilst at VX :y

Normally go for Pagid on my cars as readily available, pretty good quality and are a reasonable price.

And they don't make the wheels to dirty with to much dust!

guessing i have to change mine soon, nearly a year since i bougt the car and think it wants new ones.
whats the difference?

i usualy buy cheap versions which are the same as the gen from dealers just half price.
never had trouble with them

the v70 had aftermarket discs and they been good for over 150k miles.
just a difference from 110£ for the set.
