It's time to change my rear brakes, however a quick look around seems to turn up no rear brake options other than to order some very expensive discs and pads from either TVR power or Racing Green.

Given how little work the rears actually do I'd like to find a lower cost option, does anyone have any tips?

Current option is a set of these which including pads would come to £400

Given I used to be able to a get a larger set of front ventilated 4 pot pads and discs from padgid/brembo for my last car for £250 that seems a little excessive.

The calipers are ford cosworth 4x4 items so pads are pretty standard. Not sure about the discs though.

I recently got a set from Race tech about £300 for pads and discs for rears.

The rears do more than you may think. If you can wear out a new slightly softer than normal set of rear pads in a track day, its clear they've been busy wink
