Brake Pads Rear -, Bosch, Delphi Pagid, etc

[CH1]

Firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR Guys!!


First Day of 2015 and I'm thinking about my baby still working beautifully after over 9 years....


He needs some rear brake pads and discs

any recommendations?

A local dealer can fit me Paid or Blue Point atm...heard of Pagid, but not Blue Point?

any one had any of these or other makes you can recommend?

id go pagid hut not heard of the others.
rears do very little mate so dont go mad

Thanks, yeah I know its front whl drive so my thinking was whenever the fronts go I'd replace them with the same compound (make) I choose in the rears.

Really strange about Blue Point..only place I can see them on is Ebay..no where else... but local fitter whos recommending them says their the best?!

So that kinda got me curious about Blue Point in general...


I've had Ferrodos in past on my Alfa's and they were great but never had anything to write home about on my Seat, even the front pads are awful (fitted at Mr Tyre)

id go pagid rear and any disc if it needs discs
depending how you drive ferodo ds2500 up front when you need them.
i have an s3 track car with ds3000 upfront and they are mental. seriously good bite!!
and standard rears lol

I've heard of blueprint I think they mainly deal in parts for Japanese cars. I think they are good quality parts.
It won't matter what pads are on the back as they do very little anyway.

I think your mechanic means blue print not blue point

Blue Point was always the budget side of Snap on tools as far as I know

As said Blue print generally specialise in the Jap market and are good quality. Ferodo and Pagid make the OEM parts for the VAG group. I believe that Ferodo and Pagid are the only aftermarket brands that make the pad material to manufacturers compound.

Bosch or Delphi?

Thanks for replies. I have eliminated Blue Print (and amended my original title as understand its not Blue Point maybe the fitter sent me wrong info. )

I have now found another garage who can supply any make of pads/discs.

Any preference between Bosch or Delphi pads/discs?


What make does SEAT dealers use is it Bosch?

I have had prices for Bosch and Delphi both similar (Delphi just a tenner more).

I know these are rears and wont make much difference but I will probably go for same when Fronts need doing which wont be long now. TIA!
