Hi,

Car is a 2009 Mazda 6 needing new discs and pads all round.

I've done some shopping around for discs, Brembo, Eicher and Pagid all within a few quid of each other. Brembo coming out the cheapest from Halfords of all places at under £100 for 4.

would the general consensus be that Brembo are the better of the three, or does the disc not really matter too much as opposed to the pads?. There's literally only £20 or so quid in it.

FWIW I've already got the pads, Bosch, which I got last year in an ECP sale but didn't get around to fitting.

They're all recognised names and none of them will be a bad choice. There isn't much to a cast iron brake disc so no particular reason to look to spend more than necessary.

Thanks for the reply, beer I'll go for the Brembo then, cheapest by a few dollars.

Bit surprising, Halfords bring the cheapest option added bonus they're only 2 miles way and ready for pick up by 10:00am.

Even £100 for 4 sounds dear compared to these ? assuming same model

Can't seem to get my Reg to enter in the field.

Edit in*
i'm a daftie and I got my reg to enter.

Stevie, there;s only about 20 ackers difference overall so I'll stick with the Brembo's as I can allways return them if I'm being a thickie and getting something wrong.
Cheers for the suggestion though mate.
