Title: Discs and Pads on 3.2i V6 saloon
Post by: david_omega on 07 April 2010, 23:12:25

Just fitted a set of discs and pads to my 3.2i saloon today. another job off the list, very pleased with them, and they where an absolute steal price wise.. approx £54 for the pair incl pads.
One more job i am now competent at doing too.

This is the only job im 100% sure of doing on the Omega, very easy to do. Was that for genuine discs/pads?

I have personally had a lot of issues with cheap pattern discs, hence why I always slap genuine on mine now.

Is that size just the front pair?

Watch the rear discs as V6's from 2001 onwards have vented rears and if you fit solid discs instead then the pistons pop out of the calipers after a short period of time!
