My brakes still have loads of life in them at the moment . Would be interesting if they squeak after they have bedded in .

They look the buis, but have found fitting aftermarket discs can cause vibration at speed say 70 to 80mph and have a tendancy after a couple of thousand miles to vibrate when braking.

I always use OE discs now as per the reason above, again OE discs are balanced so no vibration :thumbup:
