K-tec drilled disks and kevlar pads

[nathanH]

I Have had to order some new disks and pads after my litttle fiasco with a sized calliper carrier and instead of buying some standard disks and pads i decided to get some uprated ones. Now the way i drive, standard brakes will do me fine so anything better is a bonus, so as a spur of the moment thing (and metal agains metal grinding when braking pissing me off) I ordered a set of k-tec drilled disks and kevlar pads worked out about £50 more than standard stuff.
Im not a trackday s**g but do enjoy the occasional b-road, any opinions on this combo?

these?

Just looking at them too... hmmmm and upgraded break lines.

 

[nathanH]

yep those are the ones.

I'd never stick disks on my car with vent holes like that one them. I've seen enough of them crack due to excess heat.
Stock disk and pads are fine for most people. Harder pads are all you need forget these disks.

they are EBC and crap also they dont last

Get the fast road kit from GDI. Well pleased with it

 

[nathanH]

well, we'll see how they get on. is it just the drilled pattern that makes they prone to cracking or just drilled disks in general?

you get lines with the GDI kit for the same price!?

think i may cancel my order, and buy the GDI kit.

we're doing 1L of free brake fluid (castrol super dot 4) until the end of this week on all brake kits worth £8.99!

 

[RacerStu]

Ye discs, pads and lines. Much better than standard im finding. Well worth the bit extra.

I can't get Fred's link to work?!?

...it did this morning though

I've used EBC Turbogroove drilled and slotted discs before and found them to be worse than the std discs.

 

[Munchkin]

Does the link work for anyone else?

 

[Englebert]

Not for me..

Here is the brake homepage:

(site is being updated all the time, hence why that link above stopped working i guess)

But i like seeing drilled and grooved discs!!!!!!!!!

But seriously i do...

 

[Fred@BTM]

by the way Mr Dubai, i'm flying out middle of next month

 

[Dubai182]

Bring some discs and pads then......at least do something useful,lol.

Where you staying?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have no idea, some hotel paid for by Lloyds TSB

 

[Dubai182]

Helpful as always Fred

 

[Fred@BTM]

my best mate is a top bod at Lloyds, i'll ask him

 

[Dubai182]

I'll be contacting you shortly with payment for discs and pads...you got room to bring them?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah suppose you want them fitting too!

 

[Dubai182]

Be rude not to wouldn't it?

no danger if not..car will be in for service middle next month so i could get them to fit them as they said they need replacing next service.

 

[Fred@BTM]

in 45deg heat, sounds like a job for "Super Dooper Fred!"

you need brake lines too?

 

[Dubai182]

What's your best price my old mucker?? Dinner on me for fitting them...

 

[Fred@BTM]

what do you want??

Brembo hi carbon? or grooved max
EBC green?
Ferodo DS2500?
lines?
fluid?

 

[Dubai182]

Oooo...options!!!!!
I do like the grooved max but isn't the brembo's the best? I drive a lot of motorway miles,occasional heavy braking,so i'd say fast road use...... DS2500??? Goodridge hoses too and whatever else to make me a happy bunny

 

[Fred@BTM]

ok i'll price it up for you

 

[Dubai182]

Thanks mate,just PM when you get round to it and leave a number for me to give you a tinkle.

my car was fitted with them when i bought it and iv never had any probs with them. Dont have those pads tho as iv heard their shite. as long as you spray the disks to flush the holes once in a while iv found mine are fine. i havent done any track days so they havnt had 'too much' stress.
