New rear brake discs and pads on V8 Vantage

[nofuse22]

Given the warning lights i am getting up, I expect I am going to need a new set of rear discs and pads.. can anyone give me an indication of what I should expect to pay please on a V8 Vantage? I fear that this will be another "pants around my ankles" experience at my local dealer....

thanks

Discs and pads about £600 per end + fitting

Probably only needs pads but you will also now need sensors
IIRC ~£300 parts with out discs

I've just been through this and got the parts - the pads are Pagid RS4-2-2 which can be found for around £120 and the sensors were about £25 each side.

Excellent.....where did you get them from ?

[nofuse22]

.. sorry - meant to add, what should the price be including fitting?

[michael gould]

depends who you get to fit them......if an Aston main dealer does it they will probably try and charge you £200 to fit them......any other garage would charge £40

thank you

^ 100% above. A good independent will be a lot less.

Sorry for being stupid but that price is for 1 pair ?? ie 1 wheel only ??

So with sensors (if required) you are looking at about £300 unfitted ??

Yes they are - they have the correct spacing for the brake pad sensor etc. and have RS4-2-2 stamped on them.

Good site that !!

Could only find rears for my DB9 at £168 inc vat - they don't seem to do Fronts

Is there a special code for the 30% discount ??

Search under V8 Vantage instead and you'll see front pads as well. Discount code is mentioned on the homepage, use "WINNER30" which should then bring the rears down to £117.

They cost £1.50 to make

Ive been on this forum for 3 years and have never seen Pagids for much less than list price.....Europarts with the discount are charging £250.28 for front and rear pads inc VAT .....thats less than half list price !
