Hello,

I had Brembo Pads and Discs installed to the rear of my J10 supplied by EuroCarparts last March.

I now need new front Pads and Discs, can I get a different brand from the front?

I am looking at Textar, Pagid or Apec, what are peoples thoughts? Textar and Pagid made from the same group, much difference between the 2 brands?

Thanks

I haven't heard of Q&H

Was looking at Blueprint but believe are cheap.

I want a decent brand as will be front of the car which does most of the braking..

Having been first launched in the 1940’s by its eponymous founder Sir Eric Quinton Hazell, the QH brand and business grew quickly to become the largest aftermarket car parts supplier Worldwide. Combining the values of supplying Original Equipment, quality spares with good customer service, high availability from large locally managed stocks and a prompt delivery service established the model for a successful automotive component supply business that is still valid today.
They have been going a good few years so you'll be fine with them

Had ‘blueprint’ on a 2008 focus 4 years ago and had no problem with them.

I was looking at blue print, but also Borg & Beck.

But hear the front of the car does the most braking so need a good brand.
