Title: GTI/ED30 OEM Pads
Post by: richtung on August 18, 2010, 09:20:38 pm: Hi Folks,

Been advised that i need new rear pads on the ED30. Was quoted £42.39 for a pair from the dealers. Im trying to find some on Euro Car Parts. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me who make the OEM pads? ECP stock Both Pagid and ATE.. not sure which one to choose as both are similar in price.

Thanks

Richard

Not uncommon though for manufactures to source from different suppliers though. :happy2:
