I have just done my brakes all round on my V6, and used Mintex rear discs and pads on the rear , but i used genuine Vx pads and discs on the front.
I did this as some pattern front discs have been proved to be poor quality and warp very quickly, never had a problem with vx parts. :y

Hope your not replacing them too soon mate, or £68 will become atad expensive.
Never heard of apec componants.
I also dont take any chances with tyres, brakes, or suspension at all. All major brands for me or wherever poss gen VX.

Aye, big heavy cars like these eat cheap brake disks for breakfast  :'(

often heard of warping within a few thousand miles.

the genuine GM are both a good price and very reliable.
