Can some one please sell me a god set of 300mm front brake disks and brake pads for a racing puma set up,

got a track day on weds

 

I'd suggest you phone Pumabuild on saturday as they almost certainly have discs and pads.

They can reface your discs if they are scored or have a lip and not worn to minimum. There are several different compound of pad available IIRC.

 

Just went out in my ka and the pulsing i was getting back through the pedal was unreal, and on heavy breaking the hole car vibrated.

Would puma speed be able to get them to my house for tuesday though ??

 

Leaving this a bit late arn't you

 

Oh yes bro, I knowim a right pillock

 

Unlikely. You'd realistically need to go to them.

Are you using the uprated brembo discs then??? as you said 310mm!

 

No i was wrong just measured and i make it 295-300 mm



I can see us not doing this track day now

 

The discs would have to go in the post special delivery 9am on sat am to ensure they got there. That all depends on what the Post office have decided for delivery deadlines over the easter weekend.

You could always get them delivered to brands if your really desperate and fit them on the day then just use your first session driving easy to bed them in.

 

That would be so nice but with my luck they would get lost or delivered at the end of the day

 

ive just read that my alcon calipers dont have any form of dust seals, could a piston be sized, would that cause what i am getting ??

 

How long have you had them??

Ideally you should take the pads out every month or so and clean all the muck off the pistons.

The damage occurs if you don't remove the muck then push pistons in when putting in new pads for example.

 

Well ive just stripped front brakes, all 8 pistons move freely, refaced brake pads, copper slipped all touching faces,

went out on rd test prob still there

Just shakes badly when braking above 15- 20 mph

 

Probably after a disc skim next then.

 

Might aswell try and get a set of discs

ill phone puma build tomorrow and see what decent disc and pad sets they sell

Then pop in on monday on way back from oulton park

 

A Diesel Ford Focus C Max has 300mm discs as standard I think, have you considered something like that, or are yours the disc and bell set-up ?

 

No im solid discs at the mo but would prefer a decent set of disc and pads really

 

Oh and ignore the above - just realised you'd be on 4 stud pattern too

Be pointless spending lots of cash on it until you have found out why they are warping the discs, it will only do the same to the new ones...

 

I got them from puma speed when i had the calipers fitted, they looked like they had just been skimmed then, they were fitted just before xmas
