brake pads and disc s

[gadgee]

hi, just a follow up from my previous thread about the my brakes makin a binding sound, ( a6 18 t petro; 1999 with 140,000 miles,),,the mechanic i kno came round and had a look at the brakes and said probably best to replace all the disc s and pads all round and is gonna do it for me next sunday .....i ve got to order the parts and have looked at local motor factors ,,,,local unipart and found that euro car part s were the cheapest (on line,),,hopefully the price wont be much different if i buy from the local ECP shop...has any one had experience dealin with eurocar parts??. any good?/....also i couldnt get the disc and pads to be the same brand ...have chosen ATE pads and
Pagid disc s... i was wonderin if any one knew if they were complatable and if they were good brands ...the rear disc s at £14 each seem very cheap ???/ is this a false econmy ?/ many thanks in advance for any help and suggestions much appreciated

ATE rear discs £19.00 at ECParts. Don't forget you need a windback tool. Regards Peter

Gadgee, go for the Pagid front and rear pads and discs from Euro Car Parts. I've just fitted them to my Octavia. They seem to be great quality, cost about £120 for the lot, which is excellent value. They are coated too so they look nice behind the alloys; they don't go rusty.

thanks for the reply paul...went down today ...bit of confusion about which ones i needed ..diff sizes but as the local audi main dealer is a minute away ,,,went there and asked them for a quote and he printed it off for me happy days went back to eurocar parts with parts numbers and he recommmended the pagid parts (same as u ,cheers m8)...said these were made in exactly the same factory as audi pads only diff is cheaper and dont have audi written on them lol.....audi quoted 260 ... euro car parts 120 ...nice one !!! again cheer s to all who took the time to reply to the thread,,,, much appreciated
