Front Pads/Discs

[rafter_01]

Hi All,

New front pads/disc are due for my Mercedes car (C220 D 64 plate) and I got a parts quote for around £268 from stealers. Is this reasonable? Is it possible to purchase these parts elsewhere which are as good and a little cheaper?

Thanks

Will it be significantly cheaper? I find MB dealers very expensive. Maybe I can check Halfords?

£149 at euro car parts for brembo. Then there's labour , unless your DIY .

Dont be silly..... stick with OE Mercedes, lots of aftermarket have fitment issues. Ask a MB indy, they get discount and pass on the discount to the cutomer (usually) and fitting will be cheaper.

Been covered to death....

They will be cheaper.

Steer well clear of Halfords

Aftermarket if you want squealing, rattling brakes or bodging to px

with the other replies, i guess the parts will be cheap and not worth it?

I wouldn't get brakes for my push-bike from hellfrauds...

Forget anything Pagid as ECP bought the OE division and cheaped out .

Brembo discs get my vote , and the genuine Mercedes brake pads will be Ferodo Eco Friction .

 

[rafter_01]

on the ECP there are two 'Brembo Brake Disc's options, £145.74 and £115.49, whats the difference?

Probably vented and non vented. you need to check which ones you have

 

[Gazwould]

Fronts will always be vented , you need to find out your disc diameter size .

 

[rafter_01]

Looks the same size but the difference I see on the website is: one is Vented/Perforated and the other one is just Vented.

Whats the difference between the two?

Go for original pal. Too many questions is a tad indicative that you are very uncertain with all due respect.
