    Rear disc and pads for v70r

    Hi,

    Looking for some advice, time to change rear discs and pads on my car.

    Choices are brembo discs and pads from online.

    Or

    Pagid from euro car parts.

    Price difference is £14 more for the brembos.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Harry

    No idea what they would cost from a dealer, but I paid £160 for brembo rear discs and pads, and bosch shoes from ebay last year.

    That's why it's cheaper to get the brembo set off ebay. Works out £100 a corner including drilled discs and pads all made by the masters themselves!
    The genuine discs and pads are still made by Brembo just not drilled and boxed Volvo with Volvo mark up.

    I'll be fitting cross drilled Brembos all round to my car this spring because my rear shoes are binding occasionally and they've got a bit of a lip now after 35k +.

    Don't forget to get the adjusters for the rear.
