Yes, £52.90 for the pair inc delivery (& HOLIDAY20 coupon) - not a bad price. Cheaper than Rimmers cheapest option - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001569

Pagid, I wouldn't have them given after fitting a full set to my wife's car........absolute rubbish.

I fitted TRW to my own car, still perfect after over 100,000 miles

From Autodoc HERE

Cheaper on eBay HERE

Have fun

Brian

Totally agree with that, when I fitted my 190 brake set up i fitted TWR disks on your recommendation, i'd say the only ones worse than Pagid are Apec, I can't believe they're aloud to sell such tat!

The TRW discs arrived from France - pretty impressive for £39.98 (the pair). Interesting paint job too.





Shame I can't find any TRW steering bits for such a good price.

I have got Pagid fitted to my cdt and have no problems with them whatever.. No ring of wear on back or front after around 25,000. Miles. No rings of confidence anywhere on the disc’s.Perfik

Not on my ZT, but on my ZS I fitted Apec discs and pads all round.

That was 6 years ago. Only changed the fronts recently as there was a slight wobble. But I'm not complaining, I used the car for towing so they at times get a good work out.
The pads incidentally still had quite a bit of meat left on them.

When I need brakes on the ZT i'll be going Apec.

I've also had bad luck with Pagid. Rubbish compound. Not made to last.
