Hi all, can anyone recommend where to source pads and discs for a diesel Ghibli? Main dealer prices are ridiculously high.

On the discs, I think you are stuck. Maybe try Scuderia car parts as OEM is the only way to go.

For pads, it depends which calipers you have (4 or 6 pot) but there will be a few non-OEM options. Try looking at the Ferodo or Mintex catalogues.

Did they not use something from the Chrysler parts bin?
That's what I assumed when I purchase the car, I could get away with relatively cheap maintenance as the running gear is Chrysler but I cant seem to find the common parts they share.

Thanks! I think that's my best bet.

If within thickness tolerance, have you considered disc skimming ? If it’s just to remove a lip or uneven wear this could be a cheap solution.

I know legendary US radio car talkshow hosts "Click & Clack" used to talk about this method.

Normal operation if there is sufficient tolerance in the thickness. I would not bother with cheaper discs, but given the Maserati prices it is worth the £200 I was quoted a while back.

Looking at the prices, non-S discs are £128 + VAT. GTS and QP owners would kill for those prices.
