Wink Group Buy on MY 99 / 00 front brake pads

I have managed to arrange a nice discount on APEC front pads for MY 99 and MY 00. Normally they retail for around £55, but I can get them for £39 including postage.

Mouse and myself have fitted a set (i fitted fronts and rear, Mouse just fronts) and I've managed 600 miles on them so far. There is absolutely no difference in performance between these and OEM Subaru one that retail for £130. I have tested them to death and am convinced they are well worth the money.

It takes about 45 mins to change them both, and is so straight forward.

Let me know if your interested in a set ?

Phill

PS I can get a price for rear ones and two pots if needed ?

Right then, so far we have:-

hoskib, standard 4 pots (MY 99?)
WallyBazoom, standard 4 pots (MY 99) and standard rears (MY 99) I'll need to get a price for the rears, but I'd expect that £30 (ish) should cover the rears

BTTT anyway though

I'm sure my local factors made a mistake when I bought APEC pads from them as they charged me £30 inc vat.

Good pads though.

So far we have:-

hoskib, standard 4 pots - £39
WallyBazoom, standard 4 pots and standard rears - £75
xiaolonguk, standard 4 pots and standard rears - £75

I have managed to get front and rears for £70, and am allowing £5 for postage and packaging. I hope this is ok, but we really do need to get a few more if at all possible.

I wonder if a bank transfer into my account would be the best way forward, and it'll save some time. I can email or PM the account details, and take it from there.

Thanks Phill

Right then I've ordered the pads as a few lads local to me have had some, so I got enough to get the discount. Oddly enough the rears may be here today, but the fronts should be here tomorrow ?? Seems silly not to send them all together

I've PM all the people interested, or replied via email, so can you please respond asap, as I don't really want to be out of pocket

Thanks again, Phill

I'm definitely interested in a set of front pads (standard 4 pots).

Let me know when you're next ordering etc and how you'd like paying.

Thanks

Just saw this, was going to get a set of pads from subaru this weekend but if these are as good then count me in if I can??

I have a UK MY00 Turbo with standard front and rear brakes. Would like both front and rear pads if possible. Can I send a cheque when the are ordered as my bank (halifax) will charge me to make a transfer to a non halifax account.

REally really sorry, Phill
