So have a service due and my garage man has said he now has trouble getting filters / brake pads for the Monaro.

Any ideas would be great.

GM part numbers so we can order from some American part places?

Have seen brake pads on EBC
Front Pads DP41162R
Rear Pads DP41711R

Front Discs D1686
Rear Discs D1687

TIA

I don't think the EBC stuff is recommended for the VXR8... Have a look here for pedders items: http://www.pedders.co.uk/info-about-which-pedders-...

I recently put new front discs and pads on my Monaro and went with Pedders/DBA.

I was advised to stay away from EBC by a couple of people who had first hand experience with their pads.

I recently needed rear pads for my Monaro VXR MOT, used the pedders ones, arrived quickly and very cheap. The car appears to stop much the same as before thumbup

Filters if you're struggling RockAuto.com will have what you need, AAS up in Newcastle probably have a decent selection of the stuff in stock / coming in soon

Regarding filters, Walkinshaw Performance have the genuine GM filters on the shelf.
I recently ordered and got the next working day...
Air, oil and fuel filters for a LS1 - fuel filter N/A on the LS2.

I got my oil filter from my local Vauxhall dealer in stock, pads go for Pedders, changed my air filter for a K&N its not listed on their site for a Monaro but Pontiac GTO is same.
