My 06 Monaro VXR has failed the MOT on brake discs, and ideas on where to get replacements, of a brake upgrade kit?

I got some DBA discs and Pedders pads from Pedders UK just before Christmas. Haven’t fitted them yet (car is still hibernating) but the service was first class.

Ebc do the brakes part numbers are in FAQ'S. Most of the Scottish guys use them and used Ebc for about 8 years on my car with no issues. You can get them mail order or euro car parts.

Do you know the part numbers for euro car parts on the EBC breaks? tried direct from them but guess its internal part number

I haven’t used EBC stuff personally but I have heard a lot of mixed reports and a couple of horror stories.

Maybe the number of issues seems worse because of the size of the company. Perhaps the failure rate is no worse than that of any other brand.

Was enough to put me off though.
