not good no,but the rest lasted all day so ive no worries about a full set lasting all day!!!

just ordered 4 discs with mintex pads,braided hoses and dot 5.1 fluidready for marham on the 18th!!!!

 

[Riley!]

standard mintex pads? if so no wonder there falling apart lol

The rears are 238mm solid type, 8mm thick i think. The 172 cup does not need abs rings on the disc(rear)

someone else said pagid to me too.

 

[Riley!]

I've heard from a few motorsport companys that pagid blues eat discs for breakfast and need a fair bit of warming up, so they have gone back to ferodo ds 2500 as they can go a whole race weekend without changing discs using these pads. I dont understand why you would want to go for a more expensive pad when your currently having no issues with the ds2500

Anyway yes I've got some in stock, prices are changing in may so wouldnt want to give you a quote untill your ready. Like I say, drop me a pm if you want to talk business ill be more then happy to help

that wasnt aimed at you liam btw. Good stuff

280mm at the front and 238mm at the rear.

All across the 1*2 range

 

[Liam@trackdayuk.com]

well what a debacle!!!!

got these luvvvverly goodrich braided hoses only to find they wont fit.

the union on the car seems to be too big and the thread sits approx 2 mm from the end of the hose and thus will not screw in!!!

bit confused as it says clio 172 on the packet and ive got a clio 172 !!!
