as above got them as an advisory on my mot last week havent got alot to spend but fancy some drilled grooved seem some cheap on ebay but donk know if there any good anyone got any ideas

 

Brakes are something not to buy cheap mate... I assume you've got a low budget so buy the best standard solid (no drilled/grooved) discs you can at the moment and save up for something more fancy in the future mate.


Cheers,
Grant

 

any ideas what to get tho and where from ive never had to buy brakes tbh i presume i shouldnt just go to the local motor factors?

 

I've never bought Cossie parts before mate, so not sure if there are any special stockists that could help?? I've bought from Godspeed and AS Performance before... both have been great prices and top service, however, that was for uprated bits.

If you stick up your budget then people might be able to give a better idea mate??


Cheers,

Just go to local unipart ,get some standard unipart discs
Should be a good price and fine unless your running big power? Track days etc
Other wise costs spiral ,ferodo pads etc etc
Depends on your budget?

 

well im running 360bhp dont really know about budget only need fronts but was going to do the lot but might just do the fronts now say £50??

 

I use "el cheapo" discs about £35-£40 a pair from the local factors, then just spend a few hours on the pillar drill, been ok for the last 3 years, otherwise spend decent money on some decent pads like ebc redstuff ceramic or yellowstuff with plain discs if you don't have a pillar drill.

what did the advisory say? personally i'd not want to be putting £50 discs on a car with 360bhp as they'll warp in not time at all and probably be more dangerous than what is on there now!

those are what i run on mine and can't fault them at all, you can get them a lot cheaper than that if you shop around, think mine came in around £150 but for the money i honestly don't think i could get better.

 

cant remember to be honest but he told me i need them and it does defo say on the advisories just dont know what the actual wording is

 

I just replaced all my Brakes on my Scooby
I have Brembro's and Redsstuff and this guy is far and away the cheapest out there
Dont mind plugging him as the service was good etc

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-SIERRA-RS...item53de31b408 any good

 

I would'nt go any cheaper than QH discs n'pads.......

Are you desperate for them??

 

well as i say it was an advisory and id rather have piece of mind that my brakes are 1000%

 

I got my front discs from a local motor factors.I think they were about 70 quid last time and the front and rear pads were 15 quid for the fronts and the rears.

They work ok on my car.

 

I know you're on a budget mate, but I can't see how you could go for a squirt in a 360bhp Cossie and be confident that motor factor brakes are going to hold up to prelonged hard use.

I'm sure they'll be capable of general braking duties though.

What are fitted to the car just now? How old/many miles are on them??


Cheers,
Grant

 

they look like standards all round mate and tbh work fine and there obv not 100% if its a advisorie, i would love to get some decent brakes for it mate but aps ect are far too much for me i like brembos but been told you cant put them on fourbys

 

try rally design, I'm planning on getting mintex pads and group N solid discs for my 4x4 calipers from there, think they come in around £100

grant

 

They are genuine ford discs at the front, about year and half to two year old now. The rears were changed just before I sold it, they are amk discs. The rear calipers were renewed at same time, also from amk (exchange).

 

Scotty you should know exactly when done as all reciepts are in folder.

 

ok mate cheers ill have a ganders i tryed to pm you but it says your inbox is full mate

 

Uniparts own discs will be ok ! As will be there pads !
Anything else will cost you alot more ! End of
Dont buy nasty euro car parts cheapest discs ...
They are shite
I just put drilled discs on my evo , front and rear 200 quid ,,,
But good pads were 230 front and 100 rear
So if not fitting ap kit ,, fit above quality !
Wont last forever or do track days!

 

car will never see a track mate purely a weekend car

 

Scotty, I agree with tabetha on this..just get some discs from the local factors.

You only use it at the weekends and you hardly abuse it!

Worse case you'll probs warp them and have to change them again

 

think im going to mate or get the drilled and grooved ones off the bay with some decent pads still dont cost much

 

Inbox emptied mate
