  5. Are they insane?!! Buy the pads yourself and go to an independent to get them fitted - it is an hours job maximum and even if you went for upgraded pads all round you'd be saving a fortune!
  6. +1 - it must need more than a pair of rears to get it through its MOT

  13. At least the rear brakes will be kept cool
