Hi All

For anyone looking for some new brakes.....

I thought this was good value http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-T5R-...742.m153.l1262

The disks seem to be of good quality and delivery was speedy.

Cheers

I had them on the front of my car 302mm and they are crap,They were inspected after 6 months and they had numerous cracks in them buyer beware.

I then fitted genuine volvo one`s and they are much better.

You need to be careful out there.

I am not saying this is true of this ad in particular.

But... Europe is awash with "fake OE branded parts" - by that I mean inferior or poor quality being passed off as genuine.

Always buy from a reputable source - never gamble on your safety.

Cheapest is not always best as we all know.

I bought a set of these and they do seem good quality, but i'm no expert, they give good stopping power but that could be down the 302mm upgrade.

Thanks for letting me know they crack, i'll keep an eye on them.

Will post back here if disks seem to deteriorate unusually fast.

One thing I would say is that the ebay seller (mtec100) has very good feedback. However Ebay feedback is always about the transaction, rather that the long term quality of the product ...... time will tell.
