Hi guys 

So my MOT is 12th Feb & I'm 99% sure my front brakes will fail as the steering wheel shakes on hard braking leading me to believe it's a warped disk.

I could get front disks and pass from EuroCarParts for £77 Odd (Just budget Eicher brand)

Then fit them myself.


Anyone recommend anywhere else to buy them? I wonder what Vauxhall direct would charge?

Cheers

Yeah sorry, the site is called EBC brakes and they are UK based and offer brakes and pads. Vx said the same to me and after much research and asking the guys in the office who have track cars they all said to use EBC.

I got the pair for the front for like 75 quid delivered and they're very good! Others on here will probably recommended them too

Seems well priced but they list two different pads for the front of my car - how do I find out without taking the car to bits? Lol

based on engine the annoying thing is they don't list the disc size or brake setup so you have to phone them.
