due to excessively pitted rear brakes i need a new set of rear discs and pads,

just been looking on fleabay and there are some sexy mintex ones for standard fabia and then for the vrs which a cost a little more:

Wouldn’t the rears be the same across the range?

they hardly do much anyway...

its not worth spending any extra on the rear brakes, as , as you said, they hardly do much anyway , just get standard ones

so are you saying that the vrs does not need specific vrs brakes??

Brakes the same across all Fabias with rear discs

since rears dont get much action,

when are rear discs actually used?

The rears will be used all the time just they will be a greater percent on the front brakes
