Got a set of rears from a 4x4 which need a refurb, does any one know where and how much??
And the cheapest place for a set of discs to match??
(ps sorry if this is in wrong forum)
MNR will do them. £72.50 each from memory.
http://www.brakesint.co.uk/ for the lot or
http://wwwbuypartsby.co.uk for cheapest discs and pads.
no joy on refurbs on that website, just new ones at £56 each plus surcharge £30 + VAt over £200 a pair!!

Yeah, but you won't be charged the surchage if you exchange your old ones
When i looked into this for the fronts i found it was cost effective to replace with new calipers. I paid about £28 each exchange for my fronts. Im
sure with some shopping around a good price can be found for rears. £56 each sounds good and as said you wont pay the surcharge if you have a set to
exchange. This will give you a guarantee and piece of mind as well.
I did a disc conversion on a 16V mk1 Golf a while ago and concluded the effort and expense wasnt worth it in the end. For this reason i kept the stock
rear drum set up on the ZR albeit with new components. Brakes are bedding in nice and performance is good. I therefore seriously question if rear
discs are really required on our cars. I have been in a Mac#1 demonstrator with approx 155bhp and the brakes (rear drum) were superb.
