Not for pads mate plus the warranty clearly states that you can use parts of equal quality.

Rusty, the noise I'm hearing do u think its the pads or worth doing discs aswell? Think they are 300mm discs. Garage told me on my vec it was brakes but I'm starting to doubt as it doesn't do it all the time

If it's been metal against metal the you would have to have a good look at the discs.
It maybe that you could shaved back to a flat smooth surface or it might just be cheaper to replace them.

Be careful with non oe parts as if you claimed under warranty Vauxhall will try and not pay out

I'd do disc too then although I don't trust Kwikfit and I most certainty would not have any work done buy them nor would let them do my tracking again.

I know discs and pads aren't under warranty but the ABS unit is and if this failed Vaux could say it was down to inferior pads/discs to get out of paying up
