Hello Martin,I've found out from bitter experience,safer if a little more costly to stick to ORIGINAL SPEC krappy or even slightly sub standard pads will wreck those rear vented discs and you can't get after market omega vented discs, i've checked a while back. You really do need some guarantees on brake pads to give smooth durability. I take it that £46. price was for original spec from Vx. I know dealers also sell after market pads. :-? Regards Cliff
