I get mine on ebay for about £8 to £10 a pair.
Im not bothered about getting named pads and off road they take a hammering any way with mud grinding in them, been there done that, and they are easy to change anyway.

You lot are like the shepherdess....She'll spend 5 Euros to get to a shop that will sell her carrots 5 Cents cheaper.
It is all a question of how much do they cost you when you are home and ready to fit them.
Don't spend a morning saving a fiver. Spend the fiver and use the extra time to have fun with the family.
Cheaper miles away or more expensive just down the road? Do I need them right now or I can get them on the net and wait a couple of days for delivery?
It's your choice.
I didn't get where I am today etc.
5 mins of thought is worth 5 hrs of effort.

If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.
