So... Searched the forum quite thoroughly to find information about decent rear discs and pads for decent prices. Checked next day brakes, gsf and even ebay and eventually settled with a quote from my regular garage.
Ok so I know that the rears don't do too much of the braking (or so I've been told) and that the important piece is really the pads (so I've read). When my garage quote me roughly £385 for OEM rear pads and discs + fitting, I thought bloody hell! Time to get the wallet out! They did however come out with an alternative for around £240 which was much easier on the wallet and included ferodo pads (the basic ones) and brake engineering discs.
Has anyone had experience with these before and will they make a huge difference to performance? I won't be hitting the track anytime soon as have a few things to sort before then but will probably look to get some updated pads when it comes to that. They are solid discs like the Brembos and wouldn't have thought that the OEM ones would be much better but I may be wrong.
Any advice would be appreciated.
