Default Brakes - discs and pads

Does anyone have experience with these?

It's very cheap comparing to OEM.

When you call them tomorrow, I would really appreciate to share info here:

1. What's the brand/manufacturer of discs

2. What's the brand/manufacturer of pads

Cheers,
Milos

I shouldn't think they will be a brand you have ever heard of at that price.
Mintex is normally the cheapest good non OEM make to fit,
but dearer than that of course.

For what it's worth I used that company for their front discs and after 6000 miles they're warped - or at least 'juddering' for whatever reason.

I haven't thrashed them or overheated them either.

I've used this company for the fronts. Disc's and pads were Mintex, think I paid about £60. A year and a half on everything is fine, no squealing and stops when asked!

I bought new disks for the front and the same thing happened, I thought it was a problem with the ABS to start with.

They do sell Mintex option, but not at this price.
