brake discs & pads

[rt_blackpool]

im gonna need new discs and pads all round, i could really do with stuff thats good for everyday driving and also track driving.

also, this might sound like a stupid question, but does it mater wether youve got ABS or not? IE - will only certain discs/pads fit ABS models?

TBH I don't think it makes a difference in component choice. Think it is just the hub carrier or driveshaft cause it has the timing teeth on it.

I think the general concensus is that stadard discs are fine, as long as you use uprated pads, say the Mintex 1144's.

After this then you could invest in new calipers, few of the guys run the Wilwood 4 pots.

ABS only affects your choice on the rear discs as they have the bearings and ABS rings in them.

Personally I'd just stick with standard discs all round, with std rear pads and my fave, a set of Ferodo DS2500 pads for the fronts.

That's done me fine so far on road and track.

what does everyone think of ebc disks and ebc green stuff pads?
im just talking to dan_williams about his.

also (again, lol ), would willy brake stuff (discs, pads etc) fit straight onto a valver?

im so non clued up on brakes and suspension. lol

[Swervin_Mervin]

Willy brakes are exactly the same mate. I'd avoid EBC like the plague.

You really don't need uprated discs. Mark Ritchie who used to come on here sold uprated Wilwood 4-pot kits and he recommended sticking with std discs even with those. He tested all the others to destruction and found the std to be no worse.

really?!?

how much do u reckon for std discs all round?

[Swervin_Mervin]

Err, I can't remember. Should do as I only had 2 new rears myself a month ago. :P

[northy]

rears are the most expensive ones mate - think flamingmonkey can get them for £80 with bearings.

[rt_blackpool]

lol!!

i think its time to make a call to sunwin blackpool

[Mattie]

i think front disks are £30 each....from halfords GSF etc
