Rear discs and pads

[tameracingdriver]

I've just noticed that rear discs and pads at yozzasport is £165. That is for standard OEM items as well

This seems crazy to me, since you can get brembo carbon discs and ferrodo pads for the front for a similar price.

Why is it so expensive, and can you get them cheaper elsewhere?

The new rear bearings are already pressed into the disks.

Nightmare... i find it very odd that the rear discs would be worn after 18k. I dont handbrake it, and i thought the rear brakes didnt do much work anyway.

From Renault it's something like £150 + vat without the pads, so their price is pretty keen.

Ye, the rear discs come with the bearings pre-pressed in. Had to change mine a while back, not cause the disc was worn but because the bearing was fooked.

I ve been told that because they are used very little that is one of the reasons they go early, lack of use can be worse than over use me thinks, for corrosion issues that is...

Not a bad price, the cheapest I have found elsewhere, with bearings and ABS rings pressed in is £155 for the full unit and thats without pads.
