Another brake question
« on: 03 September 2009, 22:17 »
Well i know this has been asked a few times already but i think i need new discs and pads at the rear , but i'll probably do the whole lot while i'm at it as i havent had the car long ...just for piece of mind ...

I'm not looking for any drilled or grooved ones , or even the bigger size , i just want plain old replacements , so my question is this ...what is the best option for the money ?
I dont want to buy the real cheapo ones on fleabay , but i dont to spend a great amount either . What do you recommend as a good honest replacement ?

I've seen the mintex ones for around 100 quid for front and back , but i've also seen sets for under £60 ...should these really be avoided ...whats the price from vw ??

Thanks ...
