Rear brake pads - best place to buy?

[steveatesh]

My rear brake pads are coming up to needing changing (Vantage V8 MY2010). The OEM Pagid set are currently around £157 in Euro Car Parts, I can get another 5% off using the Extra5 code.

Just wondering if anybody has a better working code, or an alternative supplier that can provide the right pads for less, before I press the button? Cheers.

I fitted EBC Red Stuff rear pads (£132 for V8 Vantage 4.3 & 4.7, also fits DB9) on a recommendation from another Roadster owner. Less brake dust than OEM pads, a little bit squeally at first until bedded in and then silence

thanks Alan, strangely the EBC site doesn't identify this part for my car, it only offers the Yellow Stuff pad!

And yet the back of the pad clearly state Vantage 08 onwards.

Click on this link, then select rear pads from the top menu and the Red Stuff pads are listed and described
The V8 Vantage isn't listed, don't know why.

I have a spare set of OEM Pagids in the garage - front and back.
Happy to split - send me a PM!

The db9 rear pads are the front ones off a Peugeot 406 if I recall correctly. I just bought them and fitted them. Think it was Bosch or Brembo pads, something like that and was around £40.
