Default Disc Brakes, Anyone have experiance with these?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=020

i need some discs for my track car asap. My budget is getting low as i need to get it on the road asap.

I need Escort Cosworth Front discs and Escort RS 2000 rear discs

both need to be the same make and pattern.

How are these before i buy?

how long have you had them?

my mate has told me they were sellin them on civiclife a bit ago an got banned for selling products that didnt comply to e.c. standerds


that sounds worrying.. i only need something cheap atm to get me driving again, if i have to upgrade in a few weeks then so be it.

But i cannot run my ap's with the discs i have atm do need to sort it

Trouble is you could buy some really cheap cheap bottom of the range cheap discs and drill and groove them so they look "pretty" and sell them on as the dogs danglies.....

totaly agree with that, im not buying them to look pritty, there just tempory to get my car on the road and do 1/2 track days max untill i get extra cash for ebc's or other..

i will be running ebc pads with the above discs so wont be too bad.

hes doing me front and rear for £140 inc postage, so for that cash i could only get one pair of "quality" discs.. so for now this will suit me down to a t

think ill give it a gamble... there only brakes im playing with after all haha
