brake upgrade

[-williams-]

just wondering if these type of discs are good to use on a 182?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLIO-CUP-SPOR...rkparms=72:12|39:1|65:12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

i'm after a little bit more stopping power but im not sure if they're cheap crap? if so what are the best discs to use? also what pads would everyone recommend to use on drilled and grooved?

cheers

i wouldnt buy drilled discs tbh, as they expand/contract with the heat they are known for cracking at the bit where they have been drilled

I've had drilled disks before, never had a problem with that. I know what your saying though & have heard that before.

what about just grooved? do they improvebraking at all? if not mate are there any other options without spending a grand?!

brembo hc discs + ferodo pads + braided brake lines and u wont be disappointed....great setup imo

i always thought as soon as the word "brembo" was mentioned you're talking big bucks?!

check out yozzasport or k-tec to get an idea of whats about and then have a look on here to see what people recommend. brembo hc discs arent grooved or drilled so not really what ur looking for but for £200 odd u can get a great setup....

think u can get brembo max discs for a decent price on ebay

grooved discs are supposed to be good for preventing brake fade and not as likely to crack apparently lol

I just bought a set of brembo max discs + green stuff pads and Goodridge brake lines

All in £160.00 inc postage

where'd you get them mate?

 

[CUPCRAZY]

All from e-bay the guy still has fourteen sets of Max discs & Green stuff pads.

I got the discs and pad for £115.00
The Goodridge's were £45.00

Standard discs are fine. Grooved discs add noise. You need the right pads.
EBC yellows or similar on a standard disc work really well.
You need good fluid for hardcore usage.
My only fault with my brakes is there are spongey. But braided lines and new fluid will sort that.

Ive got brembo max discs, pagid blue pads, yozza braided lines and superblue dot4 fluid. They do squeal a bit but excellent stopping power, so much better than standard.
Try ebay for discs, I got the brembo's for £90 delivered.

I have had EBC Grooved and spotted disc's and Redstuff ceramic pads on mine for about 4 weeks, big dissapointment, they are just so so noisey and the amount of brake dust is more than the DS2500's I had on my Scooby. Going to switch back to some good quality plain disc's probably Brembo's, will have to see what my brake man can get me.:clown:

Hopefully the rest of the upteen threads about brakes will listen.
