Rear Discs

[ViolentJ]

need new rear discs, is it worth uprating them or sticking with standards? seeing as most of the braking is done by the front.

Its not worth it, have you uprated the fronts?

 

[ViolentJ]

not yet, theyre next. backs need doing first.

 

[Tom_16v]

no need.....

Id get matching rear discs so it looks pretty..

 

[Tom]

poof

 

[ViolentJ]

ok... assuming i chose to have the same discs all round for the "pretty factor" any recomendations?

 

[RobFenn]

Well are you eyeing up as the replacement fronts?

 

[ViolentJ]

ive been told i need new rears due to binding (handbrake) and that the fronts need replacing too but theyre not urgent.

So i need to sort out the rear then i can look at the front. But im thinking it might look odd if i keep standards on the back and uprated on the front unless i just stay with standards all the way round.

Why dont you get them Tarox ones all round as replacements..

Have a look on the K-Tec and BBPT sites.

Ive got my eye on a 310mm big brake conversion! Could need them pretty soon as I got told my fronts were shagged on wednesday (I had guessed....)

90% of the braking happens at the front

If youve got ABS id definately stick with the Reno ones as they come with the bearing and reluctor ring already attached.

Whats the score with swapping the pads for decent ones, but not the discs on mine and any other car? Will the better pads wear the discs a lot quicker and is it worth doing???

Just got a price for £266 front and rear discs black diamond combis anyone tried them as i,m thinking of getting them and ktr kevlar pads standard front discs gone in 20000 miles thought might have got more wear than that.
