V8 Vantage - front and rear discs and pads, parts pricing

[bullet7]

I noticed the other day that there are new spring & pin kits for front & rear calipers on ebay for about £11

£220 Brembo front discs and pads from autodoc couple of weeks ago. Not fitted them yet. They come with new screws for fixing the discs to hub.

As mentioned previously the prices change twice a day..

it's those brand new screws that cause the issue - they were slightly too proud on the Brembos I received.

I had a pair from them, took 3 months to arrive after lots of complaints to no avail because the process is the process, sir. But at £81.41 each I waited.... Lost by their courier apparently and arrived eventually in the most battered box I have ever seen. Bu the discs are fine. And the Russian roulette of the screws - these fitted flush! x

Quite right you are. Just checked again. One disc came with correct tapered screws and the other has screws which will stick out.. Not sure what's going on. I suspect they have packed the wrong screws in one of the boxes.
