How funny. My car had a service today and I need disk's and pads. Been quoted £150 from local guy.

Go along to your good old Vx dealer and ask for a disc and pad SET! (not seperates) should cost you about £65 for the set. The thave a go and tackle the change yourself, it really isn't hard. Save yourselves a fortune. Alternatively get a mate or local garage, should only be 1hr labour, still cheaper than the £150.

Quite good price actually mate, although i personally wouldn't buy drilled discs as they can crack between the drill holes from the heat

The only problem with the kit is the pads are poor. There not VX OE, not really that important on the rear, but a good set of pads on the front is a must IMO

I've used mintex pads before and they aren't as bad as some of the aftermarket pads you get. I am using Lucas pads on mine just now and they are actually quite good (no nasty sqealing)

I run Mintex OE pads, good bite, but need plenty of copper slip to stop squeal.

BEWARE !!!!! The discs shown look like they are for 4 stud hubs....The Vectra C hubs have 5 stud fixing!!!!!!

Yeah was guna email them abt the 4 stud in picture! Thought abt the dealers but like the look of these to be honest and better quality, would you use these discs and pads rushy?

mintex are a good brand woth a good history imho, i would buy them if i wanted some new one's.....
