Well think it’s time to replace disc and pads all round.
Just been on a weekend run in the highlands with a few car guys and I think I need a new setup. They held up ok but started to fade and now it feels like a disc is warped.
Discs are factory 6 years old so not too bothered having to replace them.
Anyway rant over.
I’m looking for recommendations. Requirements are better than oe for fast roads. Never gonna track my s3. It’s more 99% taxi for kids and 1% me driving like I stole it.
Other thing is I don’t want rusty hubs so ideally one with a good coating.
Discs
The ones I’ve been looking at are the golf got club sport discs. Are these worth £500? Are they that good? Other similar discs are brembo xtra which is a similar drilled disc at less than half the price of the club sport. Also open to other suggestions.
Pads
One of my favourite from previous fast cars has been ferodo ds2500 so been looking at these for the fronts and maybe matching rears or or pads. Again, these are expensive and might be a little overkill.
Mate swears by ebc yellow stuff and has it on all his cars so that could be and option. Any other recommendations?
Also what good places to buy these, I’ve seen the club sport as low as £350 on eBay but don’t want to risk things like customers charges etc as the cheaper seems to come from Eastern Europe.
Thanks,
Al
