I looked at these sets on ebay - the price is excellent, cheaper than I could get trade via a friend. In the end I decided against them as they did not list any brand name, but you never know, they may just be the thing.

Can't tell what the pads are but the disk look like oem or pattern. No better (or worse) than standard.

have you actually checked the price at your nearest XPART Service & Parts Centre? Or even your nearest Motor Parts Factor? The factor 100 yards from my office matched the ebay prices for pattern parts when I needed them. The ebay postage of £15 is more than petrol to a shop.
