What do you think of these? They seem very cheap, but are they dodgey?

Sorry I can't post a link off of my phone.

They worth it? Or avoid?
Cheers

Dont be skimping on brakes.

Go on euro car parts and get yourself a good set of pads and discs.

Only thing stopping you hitting something else at end of day.

there was a thing a bit back about copy brakes, just go vw or mintex etc there not expensive, try brakes internaltional for a cheaper than oem but good set

I thought it was to good to be true!
Managed to get a price from halfords on a trade card .. ?110 for front and rear pads and discs. What's your opinion on them?
Need them by Sunday is the only problem.
I will be ugrading soon, not sure what to yet tho. But I have to budget now, as I'm getting tracking rods and cv joints done.

Forgot to mention that it's a 1.9 tdi .. 1998.

Thanks for the link mate, will have a look at that ready for next time.

If you were to upgrade all the brakes, what would you guys go for?
