    Disco 2 front brakes - bendix or lucas

    Hi folks

    I just picked up a new set of rotors for the front wheels as the old ones are well worn, and I just wanted to buy a known brand. I was quoted bendix or lucas locally the same price of $108 dollars for a front set. I have not used lucas before and is this price about right for front pads?

    I've had some squeeling issues with Lucas and just got lucky in that it never triggered the 3 amigos. I can't comment on Bendix, though I would look elsewere as far as Lucas are concerned.
    Cheers

    The EBC's dont make noise. The EBC Greestuff 2000 series are outstanding in every respect. In my opinion the benchmark pad... if you can get them.. Cant fade them, heaps of power, quite as a mouse and very little dust.

    The EBC Greenstuff 6000 series is prone to fade when hot.

    Mousie, the last time I tried to get the EBC 2000's, they had stopped making them for the D2. If you do find that they're making them again..... please lemme know.
