front brake disks and pads
Re: front brake disks and pads
Can you still use any of the discount codes like hot30 etc on the ECP website as I'd only get the discs and NOT the god awful pads.

Re: front brake disks and pads
Just had a look, and the MAY31 code has finished already !
Talleyman paid £300 for 2 x rears with that code this week , code was 25% off
They are claiming that EVERYTHING online is 50% off now though
2 x rears are now £391.20 !! Strange really , as 2x rears were cheaper with 25% off than 50% off

Re: front brake disks and pads
They make it up as they go along. I just had a look for some rear disks for my M3. The ECP price, with the up to 50% discount was more expensive than buying them from the stealer. Laughable.

Re: front brake disks and pads
Got a mate who owns his own independent garage and uses ECP for a lot of parts.
He has an account with them and is a genuine trader in the car game. I got him to price the same 2 rear discs as an exercise .
The exact same discs that Talleyman paid £300 for this week.
He can get them for £383 inc Vat , He was NOT impressed as an account holding trader that he was only saving £8 over the general public prices.
You should of seen his reaction when i told him about them being £300 earlier in the week

Re: front brake disks and pads
Mine were poor from cold and I had to brake much harder than normal to stop (nearly got caught out a few times!), they only bit properly once they got "very" hot (70+ to near stop for example) and then they'd bite fine but once up to temp they squealed like stuck pig. After the previous owner had fitted them I only had them in for about 1000miles before replacing the discs (zimmermann) and pads (ferodo DS2500) and the difference was night and day.chunky79 wrote:Please explain, what's wrong with the pads?IanH755 wrote:NOT the god awful pads.

I think they make it up as they go along, how about the fronts ?ahoooga wrote:Got a mate who owns his own independent garage and uses ECP for a lot of parts.

Re: front brake disks and pads
Didn't ask about fronts as ECP only have non drilled in atm
Re: front brake disks and pads
Ah, I'm a grumpy old-before-my-time techo-phobe so unless there's a wink or smile icon at the end of a post to positively identify sarcasm, I see everything posted as a genuine question. Happily, as this board has caught me out quite a few times so far, I should be getting better at catching it before replying!chunky79 wrote:
