Title: Need to replace discs and pads??
Post by: Max GTI on 27 May 2011, 13:04

Hello Guys/Girls

A long time since iv been on here so hope everyone is doing well.  :smiley:

I need some help with discs and pads for my anni. I need to change my front discs and pads and change my rear pads.
I just wanted to know if anyone knows of a website that sells GENUINE VW parts for a better price than the dealer or if I could get better (performance e.g. Brembo, EBC or Tarox) discs and pads cheaper or for a similar price as the dealer.

Iv been quoted around £400 for Front discs and pads and rear pads inc labor.

Thank you for your help.  :wink:  :smiley:

i just replaced all discs and rear pads with brembo discs and ferodo pads for less than 100 quid,from d&a factors don't know if they're just a Scottish company,even from my local vw i got quoted just over 150 for the same excluding fitting,thats for a non anni tho,400 seems steep
