   Gonna need a new set of front discs when I service my Saxo.
   
   It's a VTR on 51 plate.
   
   Are they bendix or teves.
   
   Not sure what the difference is.

   I was looking at brembo myself but couldnt find anything cheaper than £1000!
   That was for the discs and pads!

   Bendix, teves, ATE, Brembo, etc, are all just brands of disks. I dont think it matters which one you use. But i could be wrong!

    So this still doesn't really help. I take it that the pads are different on the treves & bendix.
