I doubt it, they don't look anything like the GV pads

Edit: These are what I fitted to mine in September. £36.60. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ch...06b0c31&000036
Too early to say how good they are but Pagid are a quality make. I also fitted new front discs at the same time.

Need I say it, I have just fitted new front discs and pads on my 2003 Grand Voyager 2.5CRD and purchased from Eurocarparts mirror company carparts4less and yes they come from the same place. "Saveme75" for your discount.
Braking couldn't be better, just got to watch car doesn't stand on its nose.
Total cost about £60 odds.

If you bought £3000 worth of pads and disks per corner its unlikely you would need more than the £30 cheepo europarts, mine will top on a ' tanner ' - its the hand-brick that needs improving.

Don't mention Hand-Brick, QinteQ, till better weather comes in next year, but don't think my shoes will last that long.
I've still to change cables and shoes as well and find out if curving/arcing a cable sheath looses the handbrake efficiency on that drum.

Goggsie, here's my original post from summer '13 on hand-bricks. I was lucky with access to a VOSA test station ramps and all the tools / toys. The cables on mine were ok, I wasted hours on the balance etc and at the end of the day the hand-brick was still not as good as I half hoped. The thread from Leedsman on the 'clockspring' tension adjuster on the handbrake lever is worth a look M8

NOTE : There is no Test for balance on the handbrake, and provided you have what is called a 'split system' on the brakes then 19% would constitute a pass.
