I am in need of some new brake pads and discs all round i suppose on the new runaround car and was wondering what people use and where the best place and cheapest to get them from?

On the front I am running brembo max discs and Pagid pads and on the rear I am running standard solid discs and unsure of the pads but they are getting low!

I was thinking along the lines of something like this below:

for all that gear and considering that the bearings are already pushed in... that seems a winning deal

I just wasn`t sure about the brake discs as they are grooved but doesn`t say a make but I am sure they are better than standard solid rears:laugh:

the old rally design ones wernt branded, 54 quid a pair of drilled and grooved they worked perfect.

Before you buy see if you can price it up at rally design a bit cheaper;)

I had some problems with a set of rear discs from them. BUT they were very keen on sorting it out and eventually got a set of working rear discs and pads from them!

I have the CRN fronts and they are excellent quality.
