ermmm no offence but arent brakes the things that stop your car? something quite important with driving and thus i dont get how people try to scrimp and save on something like this.
go bargain hunting like marklawton and if not save up

if theres no offence then why you being sarcastic, what you dont understand is that i pay for everything on my car including the car, insur, tax and mot , im poor i aint afraid to admitt it, thats why i was asking if these cheap discs are ok to put on my car mate, i scrimp and save on everything i buy, now stop pissing me off
