PeteL 0 Posted August 8, 2011 Chaps Before I phone around my local garages, what would you expect to pay for a standard set of rear discs and pads for a VR6 fitted by a specialist? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted August 8, 2011 very very easy DIY job mate, dont forget to do the bearings while your there. Seriously wont take you longer than an hour to do. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 8, 2011 Prices for the rear bearings have shot up recently. Up from £25 a side to near £45! Unfortunately anything other than genuine bearings are a false economy as you'll be replacing them again within a month! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 8, 2011 I got a pair of SNR bearings (£22 each), pair of rear pagid discs and pair of pagid pads, original price of £102 at EuroCarParts. Mates employee discount got me them for £55. Which brings me onto saying - there's a thread if you search where a CF member has set up an account for CF to get discount (i assume), i dont know how much discount.
