Never bothered looking TBH, seeing as I only use genuine Vx brake parts (tried pattern ones, utter rubbish, and similar price to genuine).

TB. Just had a look at my rear brakes. Discs so so, handbrake shoes definitely seen better days. So rather than pfaff about I thought I would put new discs and new shoes on. Had a look on EBay.

Mintex discs and pads were about £50 (from memory)
German pattern part £29 inc pads Both are plus carriage.
Shoes were about £12 plus carriage and included fitting kit.

Are you saying that VX are a similar price to the above.

Handbrake shoes, VX overpriced, and as they play no part in stopping, I use cheap pattern.

The discs/pads set are about £70 + VAT for genuine per axle (facelift rears about £20 more).

Vx shoes are £37 + VAT!!!
