Rear discs and pads

Post by vwgolf32 » Tue Mar 03, 2020 5:15 pm

My B7 saloon is needing new rear discs and pads. Looking for recommendations other than main dealer.
Cheers

Just had new fronts from Cartech1, much cheaper and still OEM.

Great tip, thank you :thumbs:
Front pair of discs are the cheapest I've seen at £460

Periodically they do a front pads and discs bundle at something in the mid five hundreds. Worth adding to a wish list there when it reappears, because then you can order it even when it doesn't seem to be available - at least that's what I managed to do.

Can't take credit for the link - I got it from someone else here before!

Which pads did you use?

The bundle is Brembo - discs and pads. I find them fine, but I think those who use their brakes very hard would have other preferences.
