As Howie said, I fitted the rears first and used them for a while before I fitted the fronts. No previous experience with them.

No issues with them to date, the fronts are great as well.

Hi, if you are based in the west rand, I used Tyre Mart Allens Nek.
When fitting the rears I used Supa Quick in Selby

I used Supa Quick in Fourways to fit mine and they did it in under an hour.

Boeties.

How's about some updated feedback on the Hella's?

Need to change brakes on my G7 and I was initially thinking of EBCs.
But truth is I'm not that heavy on brakes and my car doesn't see the track unless it's in a magazine so either the DS and Pagid should do it for me.

I had the Surebrakes on the 35 (because Pagids were out of stock at the time) but cannot say that I liked them much. Felt I needed to work harder on the pedal with them.

I have Pagid / Hella on my Treg and they are great and will use again on my other cars. Surebrake would be last on my list.......

Cool beans, thank you for the feedback. Looks like it's a go for the Pagids for me.

Getting time to do anything other than daily tasks seems to be nigh on impossible.

Hoping to get the brakes sorted asap.

Quick shout out to Renaldo and the team at Goldwagen Delarey for another example of great customer service.

Dropped a WhatsApp yesterday morning to order my brakes. Opted to get new discs for the front as well as the lip was pretty harsh.

Swung by after work and within a couple minutes was on my way again.

Got the work done at the old Speedy now Supa Quick in Wynberg.

Happy days.
