Whats wrong with the 2500's ?

I do all the Ferodo range. All you need to do is tell me the pad depth (as in the width of the disc (pad area from top of disc to bottom of disc) it is being fitted to, as there are different depths to suit different discs .

Doug, you must be using the CP6235 at that price..... .

Depends how heavy the car is, but on a high power Focus RS / Cossie they have a propensity to overheat and break up.

Doug

That number rings a bell is that bad or good ? Its a new set up just had made to measure and they were the pads They advised me to use



Regards Doug.

Give me the calliper reference or pad dimensions, and I can sort some better prices for you .

I meant in the terms of they look unused Mike, so could be part ex'd for an upgrade, but its hard to tell from a picture.

Oh I see. I would personally use the DS2500s on the road and then swap to the 3000s for track, as the 3000s accelerate disc wear, so I wouldn't use them all the time if you can avoid doing so.

Gary Osborne

can someone please tell me the difference between daves caliper and my cp5555 as they look very similar thanks

Gary Osborne

i did say please i think........ just incase please

nothing tony,have not even used the pads yet,just like the redstuff ones.

suppose any will do for the car as long as they are good enough for road and track.

5555 takes a 35mm disc

5570 takes a 28mm disc

The offset and mounting holes are smaller on the 70 series.

(10mm as opposed to 12mm)

HTH

Gary Osborne

thanks

dave cos4x4

so i cannot go to bigger discs then.

355 say.

Doug

Yes you can Im sure as that is what im running ...........




Regards Doug .

Gary Osborne

would it have been better to get the 70,s for wheel clearance or is there a difference dimension wise

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Doug,

save me buying another set in a few months.

won't the cp 5555 be better as they have more pad depth.

Doug

Yes the 5555's would be your better choice if you wanted to run 355's as the disc thicness is 32mm apposed to say a more common on road use say 330 which is usualy 28mm thick.

Doug

Doug,
When entering the prices I usually forget to put colour / size as N/A for certain items, which causes Bill all sorts of bugs on his software (as he is the website provider), so he usually has to go behind me and put this info in to de-bug the system (hence the "web fairy" comment ). However, after the piss-taking I got last time, I remembered to enter everything correctly on this occasion .

Billabong

Well, to be fair I thought it was idiot proof, but then they went an invented a better idiot

(and they're not bugs, they're unhandled errors )
