I have gotten 4 years from a Borg and Beck disc and pad set so far, 40,000+ miles. So I'd recommend them. Lee.

I have always used TRW on all my cars and am/have been perfectly happy with them.
TRW were the items in the MGR blue boxes with SLP codes. |

I'm not sure where I got my front discs & pads, DMGRS I think, and I've not had any issues in two years they've been fitted.
I fitted EBC discs & pads to the rear last year - they are balanced as axle sets - maybe expensive but seem very good. At my mot in January the tester complimented me on how effective my brakes were! When I next do my front brakes I'm going to go with EBC again. Rob

Up until 6 months ago I would have said Mintex, the last set I had from a reputable supplier are rubbish. The discs go rusty overnight ( it normally takes a couple of days) and I noticed this week they are already ridged and they have only done 4k miles.
My next ones will be Apec, Delphi or Borg and Beck. The problem is a lot of them are made from scrap and we are our won worse enemies always asking for cheaper parts not quality. I wonder what make Halfords use with there lifetime warranty? |

M-Tech discs available on ebay along with EBC Greenstuff pads is a winning combo, well I think it is anyway.
