Which Front Discs To Buy

[citrophile]

I need to get a new set of vented discs for my C5 and have had a look on the eurocarparts site and they list two brands - Pagid and Eicher - neither of which I have heard of.

 

Anybody know whether these are any good or if not, suggest where i can get some discs at a good price.

 

Thanks

I usually get replacement discs and pads for ECP and I've used both makes in the past.   They both seem to be equally OK.   At the moment I have the Eicher ones on my C5.   Order them online and collect an hour later and you get a great discount price.

4 years ago I replaced the rear discs on the last C5, bought from Citroen and they had Brembo stamped on them. I do not know if they still do them, but before then I had replaced Saab discs with Brembo ones from GSF.

 

Recent ones from Citroen are painted silver to prevent corrosion and this paint does not need removing prior to fitting, unlike ones supplied covered in grease. The paint goes from the pad area when the brakes are used but remains elsewhere so the discs/hub areas do not rust.

 

Ads on this site show a 25% discount from ECP if ordered online with the code, so price should be good.
