replacement front brake pads

Post by simonhill » Wed Sep 23, 2009 1:08 pm

Anyone know where to buy replacement front pads at sensible money, don't really fancy being raped by the dealer for what is basically 2 sets of normal sized brake pads.
Thanks in advance

Fleabay seems to be a decent place, there are a few OEM sets by traders being sold on there. The UK sourced ones at around £160, the Germany sourced ones are around £90

In the end I could not find any "real" OEM front pads for less than £190. That was from an Audi dealer.

I was sceptical as to claims that Lucas are OEM providers of pads.

Remember also the part number that ends in "H" represent the old pads which will score your discs with more than 5mm of pad material left. New pads come with 11mm.

The part number that ends in "Q" is the new pad which, I've been told, will not do this, although I cannot vouch for that as I've only just had them replaced.
