Rear Brakes - recommended brands?

grout20 · 13th February 2018, 21:12

Hi,

There seem to be various brands available for the set of rear brake discs, pads and handbrake shoes on our cars.

I normally look for Borg & Beck, Mintex, QH etc, only because I know them from my previous Triumph Spitfire / Vitesse / GT6 days, but would appreciate your thoughts / experience before I start "Adding to Basket" !

My local Euro Car Parts offer discounts on Pagid, brembo and eicher which I guess the local Formula 1's and Kwik Fits would fit.

Anybody had experience of these brands, for example?

Thanks in advance

John

I use TRW and they have been excellent. So much so that with my different cars, I have now purchased 4 new sets.

I purchase from Mister Auto for the 75.

I had Mintex on the Omega and didn' like them. They produce too much dust and are noisier.
