Yeh,with the 45% off still a lot more.

I am not a fan of how Euro Parts double their prices and then offer pretty much a permant discount code,why not just show the real prices.

Dealers get an even better discount.

Any idea are GSF Brembo all 100% genuine ?

If your not a fan of euro then you wont be a fan of GSF either, i get just as many discount emails from GSF.

I use both depending on the price. Used to use the small local stores but they have now all gone.

I find ECP/cp4less to be cheaper than them and more well stocks. In GSF I can never find the stuff I need. Where as ECP group have 2 or 3 more different brand options.

Never really gave GSF a chance as I don't have branches nearby.

ECP is the same as CP4less, but former is store bases and latter is internet based. I get a good price on cp4less and phone up my local ECP and ask them to price match (if I cant wait for free delivery).

I needed new discs and pads for my A4 a couple of weeks ago, I saw GSF were cheaper for Brembo's than ECP, so went into ECP, showed them my phone and they beat the price by £15.

GSF are not usually the cheapest but occasionally they can be. EFB battery was cheaper from them

than any other supplier even the ebay ones.

I received my Brembo Discs today,so fast delivery time.They are for wifes Audi A3,rear discs.

The Brembo ones for her rear braking system rear are 08.B413.11

See from Brembo catalogue https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/en/catalogue/disc/08-B413-11

It states the number of holes as 5,when in fact there is 9,plus the screw hole.When googling for fakes that is one thing that gets mentioned.

When I scan the barcode on the box,that comes back as genuine,with a serial number,the centre piece of the Hologram on the box appears to change when holding up to the light,all markings on the Discs appear okay.

So only the holes on discs wrong, 9 not 5.

Thoughts on this anyione?

I have been using GSF for twenty years, never had a problem. I did use ECP for a few years but my local store always has one person on the counter and a queue out the door so I’ve decided not to use them anymore

5p to add a hologram to a fake item and box.

The OEM factory items may have 9 holes, or it may have some holes not fully drilled. Probably an effort to reduce

stock items. Make a 9 hole disc and it fits a 4 and 5 stud hub. One part for several models.

Yeh mine have the 9 holes,all fully drilled,just a bit confusing when their specs say 5.

So by all accounts then,the Discs are 100% genuine

Five holes for five wheel studs.
What are the other four for? No idea. Unlikely they also fit some other car with four studs.

Instead of us guessing can you provide link to the ones you actually bought from GSF?
