how do you know your discs need replacing?

[lawrence]

anyone?

 

[Djw John]

They go below minimum thickness, so you need to measure them.

weird...i was gonna post this question earlier! Mine are shot, i know that now. Running Brembo items tho mate and i found out the min thickness- 21.8mm (cheers Andy).....guess you could do the same by ringing renault to find the min for them?

 

[Caramel]

are they still shiny? or scored?

 

[lawrence]

well pretty shiny just got a little lip round the outer edge

 

[lawrence]

just looked at them now they have wear indicators on them

 

[Caramel]

yeh the lip on the end is the wear

 

[Lunner]

Bremob discs have 2 wear indicators on them one is shallower than the other, when it gets level wiht one you need to think about replacing them, and when it gts level wiht the 2nd one you need to replace them

Great i have done one ring trip (mostly motorway miles) only and im on the first indicator............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brembo (Hi-Carbon) are actually high dust.....Low life discs..!

Ahh but im running DS3000.................Awsome brakes but alloys are FCUK'd....!

 

[fizzy_drink]

I'm running them with DS2500 pads, and I can hardly get them to lose their "new" texture...

...and I don't know if it's the new pads, but they're not getting as hot either.. ?!

Not sure what's going on... I'll post if I have any probs.

PS Like everyone says: get them measured. The inside will wear-out more than the outside of the disc.. so to get an idea, run your finger along the inside of a cold disc, and check the lip on it.

 

[lawrence]

it needs replacing no doubt about it,

 

[V1NNY]

Ebc brake discs are ok, ive got a set of drilled and groved brake discs

 

[V1NNY]

You should have seen the lip on my brakes before i replaced them, passed a mot no problem though which didnt make much sense

They stopped doing this? 1st set had them but ones I just bought don't
