Looking to get my front and rear brakepads replaced but not sure with what.
A few questions.
Mercedes parts department quoted me £194+VAT for the front, £170+VAT for the back and £8.53 per sensor which seems a bit steep. I can get OEM ones cheaper. There's a front+rear+sensors set for £310 all in on eBay right now - is this a good price?
Secondly, I'm covered under Halford's brakes4life which gives me free brake pad replacements. I carried this incentive over from my previous car and asked them whether or not the brakepads they will replace with, will be OEM. They told me they use Pagid. Would pagid brakepads be ok for my AMG? What brand are the OEM ones?
Basically Halfords won't replace the brakepads until 2mm is left. Yet Mercedes says they should be replaced from 2.5-3mm. Should I hang on to get the Pagids for free or should I shell out £310 for the OEM ones?
Thanks
