GREAT DEAL ON AP BRAKE DISCS! Also, tyre advice?
Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2023 4:38 pm
Hi all,
After an extensive hunt for brake discs for a reasonable price, it appears i have been blessed by the machine gods! I've managed to find AP racing front discs rotors and front mounting bells, brand new and delivered for a mere £888.65! Here's the link, in case anyone else could benefit from this, though i'd get a wiggle on cos they're 30% off, hence the price:

https://www.part-box.com/product-catego ... scs-390mm/

Managed to get Zimmerman discs for the rear, brembo pads for the front (though i inadvertently purchased 4 pads, when of course the front axle requires 2 sets) , ATE brake fluid and Ridex brake wear sensors, again delivered, for £772.71 from AutoDoc. Just need to find a reasonably priced mechanic to fit them all in the south/southeast!
Any advice on tyres? The car needs the rears changing, but fronts are odd (another sure fire sign the car has been well kept), so will be changing all 4 of them. Black circles have some reasonably prices rubber, but is there anything to categorically avoid? Kumho Ecsta PS71 are highly rated and very reasonably priced, does anyone have any experience with these?
Many thanks, and Happy Christmas to you all!
