A 172 running these at donington thought they were better than blackdiamond or brembo :S

1/2 price as well

Disks are made by QEF, an established maker of OEM disks for a long time. They only thing is you will be paying £30 each for 2 rear bearings + pressing them in whereas you can buy 2 disks with rings and bearings at GSF or yozzasport for just over a ton.

i've got brembo max discs, goodridge hoses and carbon lorraine pads. did a track day on monday and no brake fade at all.

 

[Steve]

Read the ad, f & r discs & pads, seem too cheap???

Stick to what you know steve. brembo stuff and ferrodo.

They're alright, can be a bit loud when you brake though

edit: The only thing I've had to compare them is the OEM disc/pad combo currently on my car (which hasn't been worn in yet)

steve i'll slap you round the face if you buy that tat

Look like pretty good stuff Steve, I think i'll be having a set of rears to go with my Tarox g88 fronts.
You enjoy Donny today mate

I'm thinking of getting these as my discs are scored and my pads half worn, thought they look quite good personally. Fred, what sort of front and rear disc brake package could you put together? Do you do non-oem rear discs with bearings pressed in?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no need to touch anything other than OEM rears, wasting your money if you do, sorry but thats my view!

we can supply them, but its rare we do!

If the discs are any good then thats a good price if they are crap then you've wasted your money . Plus you'll need new bearings and abs rings for the rears . Personally i'd rather go with names you can trust that have been tried and tested .

 

[CHRISK172+]

Looks like his feedback is spot on. Proof is in the pudding I know. Many customers have high performance cars and could possibly afford genuine stuff but as a Renault owner that does not garantee quality.

well my original comment stands steve!

Ok thanks, thought it might be nice having grooved front and rears though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

it might look pretty, but will do the grand total of f**k all

And it's louder when you brake hard, which is annoying.

You mean the grooves??

 

[Gumby]

I guess it would be yeah. They came on the car when I bought it, so they've lasted at least 4 years / 35k. Not sure how long discs usually last though? The ones I have on at the moment are pretty silent compared to them!

In theory there's less contact area on a grooved disc surface too? Only a little bit but hey
