Brake Pads question
Does anyone know if the brake pads you get from Kwik fit / other similar outlets are the same as the ones a honda dealer would fit?
The quote from my dealer seems about 200 quid for a 4 pads, but others are quoting in the 150 region...
And if anyone has any suppliers they would rate in the essex area that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

I doubt they are.
Do a quick search.
IIRC the consensus seems to be stick with the OEM ones for longer life, less dust, no squeal and less fade!
Maybe cheaper to import from the US as they a reasonably small and light. Have a quick look in the vendor section!

Hi mate
I got mine from www.Jakan.co.uk Ferrodos instead of the standard ones, they can get the standards as well and they are cheaper than HUK.
