I gave up with the local factors and went to V/X and got 4 pins & 2 springs on order. I work there occasionally as part-time driver and got staff discount.... still nearly £ 38 !!!

The cost is putting me off. Way too expensive for what it is for. I still can't believe that none of the other brands can't get the pin lengths and spring clips right for the vented rear discs.  :o
Well, you could ignore the advice, spend £8-12 quid a pop on the pattern ones first only to find you need to buy genuine ones anyway which will end up costing you £100 instead of £45... ::)

As a song once said... It ain't right, it ain't fair...

Or to put it another way, when your pads jam on the wrong size springs or the pins and pads fall out and you crash and die, or worse... don't come crying ;)

Point taken Al. Common sense prevails.  :y
