Rear Brake pads & discs replacement

Hi all,

Had my R56 cooper S serviced, and according to the service man, one of the rear brake pads need to be replaced.

Unfortunately both rear brake discs & pads will have to be replaced as well.

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party make? I suppose it'll work out cheaper getting them and having someone else fit them ?

Thanks

Hi

one of my mates just had his done at bmw i think it was a fixed price job £189 i think for rear discs and pads and fitting not to bad for oem parts and time and peice of mind
if you go aftermarket becarefull what you go for, you dont want to make the brakes to good on the rear or it could unsettle the car under braking and could be abit hairy in the wet or ice
if i do servicing bit for my self i use GSF the shop near me the guys are very helpfull and as far as i have been told it OEM part but not in BMW boxes, then find a good mech near you but check out his hourly rate first before buying anything

gsfcarparts.com

hope this help
