ah they be diffrent alright, they be better, wont wear out as quick as blooming fiat onesBig Black Stilo said:Yeah, they are from a motorfactor. chances are that if i go to a local garage to do em, this is where they are from.
So your saying the £17 ones are no different to the fiat ones then?

I also "saved" money by buying cheaper pads and shoes at times but I have had problems with some of them wear, fading, squealing. I now only use Ferodo pads (which were fitted as OE on my 1.6 Stilo). They are more exensive about £29.00 if you shop around but I get no problems.
Is the extra tenner or so that much when spread over 20000+ miles!

75,000 miles is pretty good. It also had the original rubber on the rear tyres that it came out the factory on. (at 90,000 miles when it was traded)
I bought it at 14,000 and the front brake disks had warped, so replaced disks and pads.
