Febi Brakes

[PositronicRay]

I've seen Febi discs and pads at an online supplier I've used a couple of times (Wanapart) coming out much cheaper than ECP's Pagid stuff. What's the catch? I thought Febi stuff was top notch.

They are fine, as are TRW etc.

ECP is just expensive dodgy st nowadays.

[The Wookie]

If it's really Pagid then it's unlikely to be dodgy. If you've got a 'normal' car then I'm sure the Febi stuff will be fine as it's more than likely just rebranded OEM stuff rather than chinese rubbish.

If you've got a performance car though and the standard material is Pagid or Ferodo or somesuch then I would stick to whatever the vehicle came with.

Thanks, looks like Febi then.

Last stuff i had was packaged Febi-Bilstein with the Bilstein logo, so should be of reasonable quality?

[EnthusiastOwned]

I always see Febi as pattern part quality. Not quite OE, but not quite budget.

TRW however I see as OE, since most of the genuine VAG stuff (brakes, steering, suspension) are made by TRW.
