Hi folks,

My wife has a Prius but more importantly she drives on the motorway daily with my little 2 year old son.

I do not know what discs to get for the car. On ebay you can pick them up for £40ish. Is there any brand that I should go for? Are they all the same... I am a bit concerned about cheap chinese knock offs on ebay.

Any advice please. Examples on Ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-BREMBO-BRAKE-DISCS... £67 Brembo

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINTEX-FRONT-BRAKE-DISCS... £46 Mintex

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-PRIUS-1-5-HYBRID-... £40 Random company



A clueless PHer.

Cheers,

LP

Mintex out of those three, not much point going for OEM, after all who do you think makes the parts for them?

I don't believe Toyota manufacture their own discs.

I've had Mintex brake discs and pads (not the same set smile) on my GS300 for 120,000+ miles with no problems.
