The advice I got, and followed was that Vx parts are the best for brakes ...  with a TC the fronts are darned cheap.. and easy to change.

Not bothered with the backs yet  :)

Use genuine vx discs and pads mate, cheap enough £80 for the disc kit with pads. :y

I bought Mintex discs and pads for my previous Omega and they were OK but I fitted genuine to my existing Omega and these are much better and seem to stop quicker with less effort :y
