Default Bargain Brakes

Hi all,

I have an MY05 WRX, and on my MOT advisory note the tester stated that my discs were quite lipped and corroded on the insides; the car had also scoffed it's way through another set of front pads. I was just going to replace them with OEM one's but a mate of mine sent me this ebay link:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...item2a06792351

Now, I've had previous rants about ebay but this time it appears that I've got a genuine deal.

Been running these for a while now and I'm more than pleased... for the money I'm getting better performance than the OEMs, and for reasonable money.

I actually gave the company a call before making my purchase to get a feel for who I was dealing with. I also took the option of having them dipped them in Zinc to protect against corrosion for £20.

I'm well pleased with them so I thought I'd share the news. I can't compare the performance to anything else as I've only ever had the OEMs fitted previously.

Eh? I don't follow... these disks came with Pagids; they're fully bedded in now and I've never had brakes so good since I've owned the car.

My bad mate sorry. Just looked at the listing I thought you wrote budget breaks in your post not bargain lol. I have trouble reading because I skim read not because I'm illiterate. Put it down to dyslexia.

No worries mate, I had a feeling the post had been misread.
