Brake pads

[Campo Steve]

Any suggestions as to the best place to buy front disc pads for a Ford Focus in the Velez Malaga area?

Hi Campo Steve,

My recommendation for brake parts is always buy from the Manufacture.
Every has been telling me over the years that Ford parts are cheap as chips.

If not then make sure they are a Branded name..........Ferodo, Tarox,TRW...etc

Check out your discs .....make sure they are still in spec........These days I find a set of pads lasts the same as the discs so I change the lot. Your driving style will be different and you may find a disc will last several pad changes.

Blimey, I am glad I don't have to change my discs everytime I change my pads, that must be an expensive do

Hi Julie,
When you're getting 70,000 miles from a set of pads and discs not a bad service life.

Job done. A straight forward job, once you realise that it is a 7mm Allen Key that is required and that size isn't standard.

the last pair of discs i bought were 120 euros.

then i looked on ebay and i could of got brembo vented discs for 70 quid the pair

Eurocarparts are superb for stuff like this and they ship (reasonable costs) here too. Considerably cheaper than trying to buy anything here especially for stuff like brake pads and discs/service items. I was quoted 70€ for some dodgy pattern-part pads for my 206GTI and ECP were only 28UKP for Pagids

just checked for mine, pagid pads are 17 quid. they are 60+ € here

If comparing Pagid for Pagid make sure they're the same types.. proper performance Pagids (ie RS4-2, 14s) would be up round the 100 quid mark I'd expect!

ive been looking at oscaro.es - the pairs of brembo disks on there are 60% off this week - down to 58€ for my car

the "road house" pads ive just put on the back of mums car were 20€ with my discount, and that was from a local motor factors i was shocked.
