I use TRW discs and pads, but everyone will give you differing answers

I'm thinking Pagid but I've not used them before and to be honest I can't remember the last time I changed brake pads on any of my cars in the past.

No they won't!

I also use TRW discs and pads - have done so for many years - and am perfectly happy with them.

Got them on Ebay

I use brembo now after having some other brands squeal but that's my preference

Another vote for TRW.

Hopefully they don't go the same way a lot of other manufacturers and start re boxing landfill quality parts.
