Brembo hc/max???

[timmyd]

Have always ran brembo max disc with ferodo ds2500 pads, is there really much difference between the max and hc.
Am I wasting my money buying max disc when they are £120 compared to the HC disc £70???

 

[Inferno]

Yes. Stick with the HC's.

[Fred@BTM]

no advantage at all, if anything i found the MAX to wear quicker

 

[timmyd]

Cheer guys, will purchase a set of hc disc.

 

[Peperami]

I found the max's offered better braking, as did Mark Fish who recommended them to me. But hey ho!

 

[JB]

I've had 2 sets of Max's so far and can't fault them. And yeh, you can get them for way under 100 notes!

 

[Peperami]

Aye, i got mine for 90 or so.

 

[TimR26]

Tarox G88 discs are better but not cheap though!

Max look better. That's why I chose them. In theory they should help improve initial bite and prevent glazing?

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

you should really think about the pads AS much as the discs. std. renault work fine for me, no different from brembo.

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a lump of cast iron

 

[Peperami]

That's not a nice way to speak about Chris!

Cheers for that link mate, great price!

 

[timmyd]

Gonna have to try the HC to see if theres any difference.
Going to stick with the ferodo ds2500 pads though.

 

[LiquidRich]

I think I'm gonna try a set of those HC disks, are they blank?? I want to cut a custom groove pattern into them

 

[timmyd]

The HC disc are blank, probably better off cutting custom patterns into a standard disc, if you havent already.

Lol! Seriously? :approve:

 

[LiquidRich]

Lol! Seriously? :approve:

Yes mate, not decided on the pattern yet I'm torn

Brembo HC with Ferodo DS2500 pads...

No need for grooved or cross drilled disc... unless your a chav! :rasp:

 

[Neat]

I guess I'm a chav then - Brembo Max and Pagid Blue (I like the grooves )

By the way it's "you're a chav" not "your a chav" :rasp:

 

[Fred@BTM]

you all do know the max disc is just a hc disc with grooves cut into it?

 

[Neat]

Doesn't surprise me. I thought the Max was the best disc to use with Pagid Blues. Thats why I went for it...........and the grooves.

 

[Inferno]

you all do know the max disc is just a hc disc with grooves cut into it?

I thought the max discs had some special black coating on them that stops rust and keeps the disk looking good?

Although when I had them the special black coating didn't seem to work.

 

[Fred@BTM]

a bit of paint? same discs

the k-tec grooved discs for the meane 225's and 197's are just brembo HC discs with grooves cut into them

 

[Tom]

Never understood this.

The cheapest discs in the world for me (£34.66 delivered), coupled with some decent pads.(if i feel like it, standards are fine for road use.) Changed the lines about 4 years ago so no worrys there.

Job done, Grooves make noise and do f**k all. Drilled are stupid and dangerous.

 

[Jonny1*2]

exactly. better on the hc discs. better pads and if the discs ware away more they are cheaper to change. Plus Max are weeker due to the grooves.

LOL, no s**t it doesn't work. Have you seen that special black coating after a few laps on track? White powder. Stiff breeze and it's gone. Max look better and make a manly grumbling noise. That's all there is to it TBH.
