I got a pagid one from euros not long back. It was around 90 quid after the rebate on returning the old caliper.

Fits fine. Can't comment on the longetivity of it as its only been on 6 months

Cheers lads. Garage can get them for £140 +vat for me so they are sorting.

140 each!?

They are only 83.81 on euros after surcharge

Ah actually 140+ vat halved is £84 So they will be getting them for euros

I got the mintex ones off eBay, 59.99 delivered with new bearings, and rings and pads.

Can't fault em so far, apparently the bearings wear prematurely with track use but for road I think theyl be fine

for future reference I can sort the calipers, along with rear discs, pads etc, make sure the garage know about the little spacers being fitted/refitted as they're still catching people out these http://www.roadtrackraceparts.com/r...er-spacer-rear-renaultsport-clio-172-182.html

the pair on the wife's car lasted near as damn it 90,000 miles before they needed changing and the bearings were absolutely fine on them still. fitted plenty of them to dailys, track and competition cars and no one has had any problems with them.

I think your the reason I bought them and didn't get genuine actually, I remember you mentioning that before.

But there's plenty of people on here saying they are crap! Probz due to incorrect torque settings.
