Advice on Rear Discs/Pads Required
Been meaning to change my rear pads lately but just not got round to it.
I've decided to do discs & pads and use Disco Mikey's instructions to complete the job, I'm not too sure what are the best discs & pads to get though, I've seen a good deal on Britpart Discs & Mintex Pads.
What do you think or can you suggest other makes that would be better at a reasonable cost?
Cheers

Stephen, as far as anything safety related goes, (brakes, suspension etc) I personally would always go for OEM parts, or an upgrade (probably more expensive) rather than just a cheaper alternative. TLO will do you a great price and get them to you very quickly. Is it really worth the risk to save a couple of quid?

Unless I'm mistaken (I'm sure someone will point out if I am ) I believe they have a chamfer on the edges (maybe ony one) to stop the squeeling. I would like to think that they are the only genuine ones available now, but TLO would correct me on that I'm sure.Joined the BMWX5 45e group
