.... thanks to grays motor factors at london

beware of cheap discs  they're generally cheap cos they're made cheaply and often run out of true in a relatively short time/distance. My cheap discs on my Senator years ago were from Brakes International (oop North) and ran out within about 3/4000 miles. OE discs on a Trade Club card are only around £100 inc pads 

[the alarming man]

yep i paid £103 for front discs pads and a wear sensor (all vauxhall parts)

made by Apec, pay for what you get these days and £7 each is good if you can get  3/4000 miles out of them, cannot complain for £7 can you really (New)

Jeez - for £7 mate doubt you'll even get that out of them

Given the choice between driving with discs fitted that cost £7 each, or taking the bus, I know which one I would be doing. 


Never skimp on tyres or brakes.

With all due respect, I fail to see why discs would be called "old stock"? It's not like they are a fashion item, (last seasons range), or a perishable item like bread or milk. Nor should they go rusty, protected as they are in that wax / grease like coating, or even like tyres which actually do have a shelf life.

got last pair for my year think he got 3 or 4 left off 3.0 ones left, after there gone there gone, bit dusty on bags over the box but inside they ok, bloody heavy they are.

I'm totally and utterly failing to see the point of this post. Do you work for Grays Motor Factors?

Apec are a 'known' brand .... so don't see how you can go wrong at that price!

[msb1973]

agreed apec are a widely used/known brand in the motor trade,my mates garage fits them to alot of vehicles and has never had any comebacks so imo £7 is a bargain

[youth]

i have had apec brakes several times cant fault them they even lasted longer than proper honda pads managed to get 15000 out of the apec pads i had in my civic but only got 4000 out of genuine honda ones apec are good brakes
