Try Brembo website and locate dealer - it's like the same part as in US and you should be able to get in in UK.

If you at 90K miles - may be your rotors were replaced at 60K so rotors maybe able to take another set of pads if you want to save money.

In my case - i wanted new shiny rotors and dealer in their honest and unbiased opinion told me that i needed new rotors - so i just bought what i wanted. Car has 53K miles

Why did your wheels lock? Your ABS should have kicked in along with the BAS. Of course, I may be just picturing it all wrong. In my head, you're screeching to a halt with all four tires locked and smoking.

I was wondering the same thing about ABS - I guess because BAS took over and figured out that steering was straight speed relatively low and I am doing panic stop.

I actually didn't come to complete stop - at the end i was rolling may be 5MPH and it may be went 2-3 feet on locked wheels. And may be not 100% locked - they may be did very slow rotation.

Overall - computers were able to stop the car much better than I would've done. But the reason computer had to do it - is because I was paying attention not to the road in front of me.
