Why spend £30 more? Merlin's suggestion is a good one

plus names you know. The rear discs I got from Brakes Int... I don't even know what they are, some name I'd never heard on the box.

New dics and pads were deliverd the next day me and a mate fitted on the weekend, my mate who is fairly experienced with brake systems was happy with them , a few of the pads we had to file down the tops to slot them in the pad holders which we dicovered 3 of the 4 clips on the pad holders are missing so got to find them and order but all worked well

i have brakes

I find that's normal with brake pads these days. Crap quality control on the painting

Think you can get replacement shims from brakes international.

I cant remember the last time I had a set of pads that slotted straight in without the need for filing.
