Afternoon all!

The price from citroen for new standard brake discs is about the same price for brembo max ones.
Now brembo boast better breaking distance, wear indication, etc etc etc.

What would you go for???

Cheers

Brembo all the way. I had those in my Honda and Wow, what a difference! But to get the full benefit, upgrade the brake pads.

well the "standard" from GSF are £11.50 but does half the price of ones from citroen mean half the quality? past GSF experiance suggests yes!

Rubbish

Citroen brake parts would be Bendix or ATE or pattern - which are the ones you can get from GSF, ECP, HF etc, etc.

Prices look great, have you used them before, or has anyone else?

no not used them before, but they have been recommended on HJ website, i think you can pick up if you live nearby, otherwise dont forget to add vat and delivery to the price, still very competitive though.
