Any viewes on brake pads made by Pagit, Eicher,Bosch.

[aaronjb]

I think generally the view is probably "Why bother when TC pads are so cheap?" (Something like £15 for a set of fronts).. unless you muller the brakes like TB/CG..

[robson]

Sorry I should have said that these pads are for my other halves Volvo. And no rude remarks about Volvas

[aaronjb]

Ah, in that case - Pagid make some good pads (they also make some rubbish) and I've no experience of the others

[Kevin Wood]

As said, all manufacturers make pads at both ends of spectrum.

IMHO, unless she drives it particularly hard you won't go far wrong picking up a known brand set from a local motor factors or online supplier.

As Kevin Wood says, all "branded" pad makers make a good range and a shite range. The factors generally stock the shite ones, and say things like "Mintex make good pads", but neglect the "but these are their shite ones" bit

Pretty certain he has TC currently. His problem is his psycological problem with copper grease

Try Volvo most manufactures offer parts at a reduced price for cars over 4 years old, always worth an ask, as genuine parts often last better, so if only a couple of quid more than pattern ones, much better value

Obviously if they're 4 times the price, probably best to go pattern
