Eicher are cheap rubbish.  Avoid them unless your on a very tight budget.

Pagid are a high end manufacturer and they make all their own brakes, they also come sprayed Silver so they still look great after 1 year.

Front discs/pads all changed and wear sensor didnt need replacing. Although non-sensored side, discs/pads were running metal on metal, :o) will do back set next month.  Anyway, want to replace the caliper retaining clip/spring, but whats its correct name and where can i buy them?

Caliper retaining clip is the name for it.  Euro car parts should sell this as a calliper fitting kit, which often includes that clip and 2 new calliper bolts.
