Its all a bit of a minefield , i replaced some pads and discs on my fathers Toyota .. he nearly went through the windscreen when trying them out  but previously the brakes were soft and lacked feel. £54 for the new kit from the bay , also as mentioned using the brakes like your in an F1 race obviously wont make them last very long   

[Sir Tigger KC]

How about Pagid disks which I'm sure someone here reckoned are the OE manufacturers anyway.  £67.08 from ECP for the pair.

and Padgid pads are £21.30.

Total = £88.38, so about the same as genuine VX on TC which is £90ish.

Thanks, Sir Tig.

Are you sure they are identical to genuine GM parts?

Are you sure they are identical to genuine GM parts?

Nope.      But I think Pagid are a fairly decent brand.  It might have been Mr Gixer that suggested they were OE suppliers. 

Can't you persuade your dealer to do them at TC prices?  Maybe you should send your Sister in Law in!

I might have said it before, but just because manufacture A makes for B & C it doesn't mean they both get the same quality .... especially if C want to sell them cheaper than B does.

He doesn't recognise TC.......He will offer a small discount but still wants £135.

I'm tempted to go for the Pagid at £88. Seems like a reasonable compromise.

I'll see if I can find any ECP discount codes.

[VXL V6]

Put Pagid discs all round on Mrs VXL's Alhambra along with genuine pads. Cheapest supplier of Pagid I could find was Euro Car Parts via Ebay and then pick up on the way back from work. Pagid seem to be well respected in the trade.

[TheBoy]

So how long have Genuine parts lasted or more to the point are they any good  Think i paid £22 for a set of pattern discs 2 year ago  Pads play a big part in the performance 

You clearly aren't trying hard enough
