Reviews of DELPHI brake pads

Delphi brakes for rear set usually add another £300 including fitting. Sounds about standard for the area - you'd pay less up north but London's always pricier.

So I use delphi pads. I threw away a bunch of chinesium pads because they screamed. Like people in other vehicles looks at you funny scream. On top of the Delphi pads I make sure I install a squeal shim (not sure of the science name) if you keep stock pads and disks make sure you replace the locating pins and springs with the pads. They are super cheap, and they do wear on the flared head and can slip through. Almost happened to me.

I used Delphi pads which I regard as quite high quality. The existing pads were Pagid. I replaced the pads as the braking didn't seem right to me, bad shudder, squealing and just didn't seem precise? Wow what a difference it has made. No noise, pedal is firmer and the shudder has all but gone. The existing pads were not badly worn I would say 55% front 35% rear? But they didn't look good very grainy and cracked. I don't really know Pagid never used them, maybe there was some issue but I don't think I will be using them again.
