Anyone fitted Eicher brake disks and pads?

Try carparts4less - same company and usually a few £ cheaper (if not always cheaper). I have used eicher and they've been fine for me on lower end applications IME.
Guessing on yours as a 2l diesel 2014 the prices for fronts (345mm) are Eicher: £50 Brembo: £64 Pagid: £67.
They also have 20% off meaning a pair of pagids would be £108...
Between the brakes and tyres, they're what stop you, so I wouldn't advocate scrimping for a few quid saved...

carparts4less is pretty much the ECP + whatever the current discount code is price.
Eicher are fine for your average daily / commuter car. Similar to the bottom end / OEM replacement Pagid stuff really.
I wouldn't put them on anything with remotely sporting intentions.

Endurance and better performance when hot. If you’re going to be towing I’d want good pads. Brembo or Pagid IMO.

Yup, they were fine 
Just like all over discs and pads I've fitted over the years.

The Eichers will be perfectly capable of performing an emergency stop, the limiting factor will be available grip.
What they can't do is do that back to back over and over again.

Brembo from ECP is not their performance line, just their OE-level stuff. Not worth the premium over Pagid or Eicher.
I've used both Pagid and Eicher for quite a few miles, and I would always stretch for the Pagid. They come coated from the factory so don't rust on the rotor hat or edges, and they seem less susceptible to warping than the Eicher. On the pad front, the Pagids lasted a fair bit longer before any signs of squeaks or squeals appeared due to much better anti-squeal plates. The Eicher anti-squeal plates rust through quite rapidly.
Always buy new hardware too, it's normally about a fiver but we'll worth doing.

I would recommend ATE, Textar as 1st choice.

Chiming in as I recently had a problem with Eicher pads. Rear pads replaced ~3 months prior to MOT. During the MOT, tester performed a few rolling road emergency stops, and afterwards I had a horrible grinding noise. Amazed it actually passed, as it turns out the material had straight up just sheared off the pads during those emergency stops.

I'm in need of pads on the front which i'm likely to get today.
ECP are the cheapest for me right now, question is are Brembo pads worth the extra £4.50 over the Pagid pads?

Yeah same experience as a few on here, i've used them a few times and they're OK but nothing more.
If the price difference is small and you're planning on keeping the car i'd get either Pagid or Brembo as they seems to be better quality.

+1 for Eichers wearing quickly and becoming noisy.
Pagid are fine as a budget option.

I went ahead with Paget pads on the front for £29, can't go wrong with that.
That means you haven't cleaned corrosion from the carriers properly. There should never be any need to file/sand brake pads to get them to fit, particularly with the brand names.
Soldato
Dont, just buy brembo or ate or something.
Check best part store as they seem to carry multiple brands or check Amazon as sometimes they can be really cheap for car parts
