Default Cheapest supplier of Rear DS2500 pads?

Apologies if this sort of thread isn't allowed, but can anyone point me in the direction of who is the cheapest suppliers of the above please? Peeved I've just missed out on Tegiwas 10% offer! would've ordered them had I seen that!

regards

Tom

We're probably still near enough the cheapest. Remember we do free shipping.

Them ones are the cheapest from a retailer so far.

They are but they come from Poland, support a trader from this forum and in the UK.

Remember the fake Britain report on counterfeit break pads? Just be careful!

I think when I got mine earlier this year I found HEL to be the cheapest, but after about 6 phone calls and various emails with no reply, I gave up and went with Tegiwa. Can't knock their service at all.

Quite. I've never understood why anybody would try to save a measly couple of pounds on such a vital item as brake (note - not "break") pads, especially on a high performance car.

Presumably you also run on secondhand remoulded tyres?

As the age old saying goes, you don't get rich by spending money. Why pay more for the same product, I worked in the parts trade long enough to know. Some might just appreciate the sale.

As for the snide remark about tyres, I've just this very moment taken order of a pair of brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2's. Straight from Germany. Some £20 a corner cheaper than UK retailers. So get off your high horse and stop making assumptions on someone you don't know

It's the same point about tyres and brakes. By trying to buy the cheapest available you run the risk of buying fakes.
