General Front Brake Pads

[Kelvin W]

Hey guys

Bravo 2007 150 Mutijet front brake pads same as stilo, I know cause I fitted them yesterday cheap as chips £23 for Mintex Trade price

I had to take the pads to my supplier to pair them up though (not listed in the parts book for the 2007- Bravo) I think the discs are the same too.

Beats the £79.80 for the fiat repacement pads ........... huge mark up eh

Mintex MDB2239?

I also went for Stilo pads - Apec PAD1274 as replacement for the OE (FIAT 9949273?) pads on my 56 GP 1.2/8v. £25 in contrast to the £32 for the GP pads – although the GP pads Apec PAD1549 come pre-chamfered as an anti-squeal measure, to save you the bother of filing off the edges.

Good to know, cheers mate, how many miles you done on your first set of pads?

Well, thats bad, mine about to appoach 40K miles mark and still on it's first set of pads and dicses, is there a warning light if the pad is running low? or I running around without any brake?

Hi mate
Yes it was 18,000 miles to be truthful I may have got a few more thousand out of them but I did want to preserve the discs (warning device on the N/S inner pad only) so please keep an eye on them.

Hi Mate
