I did a big no no, and bought ebay specials when I did discs and pads, 4000 miles and no problems to report (touch wood)

I bought the discs for my MGF 75th Anniversary off ebay but chose a company that I know and a make that I know they have been fine for around 8000 miles now. The discs are the 304mm dia vented ones. No grooves of dimples just plain vented ones.

For this 75 CDT I was wondering about some makes that I have no experieince with hence asking the question.

Am wondering which ones to get. Do we go for a well known branded make or a car factors choice? The prices vary wildly. The car of course is the Classic CDT Auto.

Advice and suggestions welcomed

I always find http://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ the best price
around. They have a variety of manufacturers, however
it can be sometimes cheaper to buy through their German site!

I have just ordered both front & rear pads for my 75 through them

[COLORen="Blue"]I bought a front set of Delphi disc's, the same as my friend .Along with Pagid pads. My friend has fitted his about three months ago and they are performing well. Mine are still waiting to be fitted, and will be soon as when when I measured the thickness last week they were almost down to the limit of 19 mm.[/COLOR]
