New brake pads.......
I have done a quick search on brake pads and got swamped with replies so I thought it would be easier to just ask.
I need new pads all round, It was mentioned at my last MOT that they will need changing in the near-ish future and although I didn't trust Honda's evaluation, I got Kwik-fit to confirm while they were repairing a puncture for me. Anyway, other than Kwik-fit, where can I get all 4 changed? ( am useless and wouldn't attempt myself, plus I'd get dirty!) and what could I expect to pay for supply and fit all 4 pads? Am I right in assuming front pads different to the rear? I don't do track days so normal road use only. I am in Surrey.
Thanks
Steve

It's an incredibly easy job - I, like you am useless and don't like getting dirty, but I can do it.
This means that there's no reason not to use Kwik-Fit for it - I think they do some sort of lifetime replacement deal too and I know one or two people here use them successfully.
You shouldn't pay for more than an hour's labour. Honda pads are about £140 all round, so after market ones would be a fair bit less.

Cheers for that. They are they easier option for me as they are at the top of my road but I was a little worried about the quality of the pads they would use.

Edit- Honda bumped the price they charge for pads up massivly last year so LG's price would be plus labour so about another £70 on top.
