this thread is a plea not to buy anything from holden spare parts, they are ripping people off blind !!

<snip>
holden wanted $120 for new brake pads, from UK - $38.

all in original GM boxes with GM holagram and barcode, nicely packaged.

holden spare parts team should be wearing balaclava's i $#%#$ hate em

I quite agree with your feelings about Holden Pricing. It IS a bit rich.

I know all about the UK Brake Pads, I've seen them numerous times in UK-based Dealerships, as well as ebay.co.uk.

A problem you may have there however, is the shipping costs from the UK to Australia.

I say that not so much about Brake Pads, but rather for new front Discs.

GM-Holden quotes approx. $380.00 for the front set.

Now you can get them at a much cheaper rate from the UK, but the shipping costs for heavy items like Discs mean that you won't actually be saving much at all in the long run.

I don't know anything about the Universal Joint, so I can't help you there.

But try RDA for the Pads and Discs. It certainly appears to be the best alternative at the moment.
