Eicher Brake pads and discs (very cheap)

[Poopensharten]

Bought discs and pads all round for the 172 today, fitted this afternoon.

If like me your looking to do it on the cheap, Eicher brakes are for you. £100 for all pads and discs and bearings...!

All from Euro Car Parts. Seem quite good aswell! If your after cheap this is budgie.

No bad price, will they be any good though?

 

[Poopensharten]

I went a run over the back roads mate (30 mile) albeit they're not exactly bed in properly, good enough mate. I just needed brakes asap and on a budget. The motor was £800 you can see why im no wanting to buy Fredo shite and the like lol

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeah fine for what they are needed for I suppose mate.

 

[Poopensharten]

Aye, cars never going to see a track i dont think, not least until i get another car anyway!

 

[Dan519]

rear bearings will last 3 months

Otherwise, they're perfectly acceptable

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Lol. I'm doing knockhill next weekend with Dave & John you should come up.

 

[Poopensharten]

Aye? I'll see what im working! Never even done a track day mate!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Neither have I mate this is my first time I'm bricking it like. I think Gaz is going up too.

 

[Poopensharten]

LOL, Gary drives his truck like hes on a track FFS! Some boy that one!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Haha! He took me out in his r32 the other week there, never again mate he's wild LOL

Are these any different to the mintex pads you can get? Ive just reserved a set at my local euro car parts store, much cheaper than anywhere else!

 

[Poopensharten]

Not sure mate! They're okay for what i paid, not many places offer discs pads and rear bearings for under £100!

for a reason. The rear bearings are s**t!!!!!!

 

[andrewrobert87]

cool, as long as they stop you! going to collect them tomorrow.

The car was £800 Daniel. Not one for spending a quarter of the cars value on stoppers. Ill keep you posted on how long they last

 

[Dan519]

I accept your arguement on everything but the rear bearings

 

[MarcB]

If you guys think £100 is cheap i would be able to get them for a 1/4 of the price but i agree that i would not fit the rears as the bearings would be rubbish, you would be better with chocolate.

 

[Poopensharten]

Chocolate is just plain dangerous tbh.

Good brakes are important on a hot hatch, the euros pads squeal like feck and bearings have already been mentioned

Aye and they slow it down from 130 just the same as the brembo's did on my 182.

Im not in the buisness of spending 25% of the cars value on brakes.

 

[Poopensharten]

Still going strong

The bearings are still okay, i think i may contact ecp and complain

 

[Advikaz]

Can't compare Eicher & Mintex IMO. Mintex make some good quality stuff.

 

[Poopensharten]

Eh? Who was comparing mintex and eicher?
