   yeah, get some mintex pads off ebay and fit them yourself. Prob cost less than quick fit and will be better.

   think ate (front) and bendix (rear) are oe on the vtr - at least for 2002 vtr like mine. have a look on gsf or eurocarparts, see what they've got. tends to be you get what you pay for with most brake pads.

    I've got mintex discs and pads on my automobile. They are the nuts. Well easy to fit too.
    
    Get yourself a haynes and have a go at doing them yourself! Last time i needed discs and pads, I got robbed between £100-£120 from formula1, it cost me about £40 to do it myself
