Will they fit my car 2002 aum ?

In the description it says about disk sizes that there 280 fronts and 288s what would mine have (cant be arsed to take wheel off and measure)

Last thing are they any good cause 100 smackers for everything is pretty cheap !

Pagid from eurocarparts with the forums 25% off code. They come to about £80 for the fronts I think  :smiley:

I believe the backs are about £40 ish.

Pagid make the pads for VW so it's worth the extra £20 IMO.

Avoid the Eicher one's from ECP though, make sure they're Pagid or equivilent.
