Brake pads - what's a good value and what's false economy?

Check out http://www.brakesint.co.uk/
They list brake pads for your car from £21-£28 For the axle set, and I'm sure that any of them would be fine. They're all "OEM" spec and meet the original specification.

Yes, don't I know it! DH was sent out with strict instructions to buy a largish saloon and came back with the Chelsea tractor out there... then dropped dead on me and lumbered me with it. It only gets used for holidays and long distance stuff these days. Oh and for the "can you help me move something large and probably dirty" calls from various family and friends. :cool:

Cheap brake pads will often outlast the vehicle they are fitted to

Hmm, very wise words.

Thanks all for the advice. I have no intention of going cheap and cheerful, but wanted to make sure I got the best quality I could without paying over the odds and I know some people see folks (especially women) coming and bump up the price. First time I've had to make the decision what/where to buy car parts by myself and it's always easier with good people to bat ideas off.

Great to get some makes, ranges and websites to look at. Thanks you you all for the contribution.
