This might sound cheeky

Andyd358 · 9th June 2010, 23:33

I know this is going to be a cheek but was wondering if anybody could find brakes (discs and pads front and rear) cheaper that £138 which is what i found on Eurocarparts.

The mrs wants me to go to kwik-fit (Before you start I hav never had a problem with teh branch i have used for th elast four years( hexham)), as they have the lifetime replacement as long as you own the car.

but If i change them myself i can give myself a lifetime warranty lol.

So come on all you shrewd people whats the cheapest for a full set?

E-bay comes up with good deals now and again.... But like in all auctions buyer beware.... You can give yourself a lifetime warranty, doubt if the seller will do so....

for a full set at kwik fit you would be looking at £400 i think, I just bought mintex full set for £110. I just did the fronts last year and used cheaper discs and pads, the disc is already warpped and the pads don't sit correctly, so my advice is go for mintex or oem.

I did my ZT CDTi all round ... pads % discs for 67.75 inc carriage@ £20 ish.

From autosparesgb on Fleabay.. took about 3 days to arrive.

....HINT HINT !!!!!

i have to say that is cheap but no doubt will be the same quality as what I fitted to mine last year.
