Front discs & pads
Re: Front discs & pads
If I were going to buy cheapo pads, I'd probably get Brembo. Or AP. Same thing.

Re: Front discs & pads
Cheers Shopp.
I don't drive the car hard so have no need for super expensive pads.
I think I'll be parting with it soon anyway. It's just had a major service this week and I'm looking to sort a few issues which were highlighted before possibly advertising it.

Brembo Pads. They were only £20 more than the Pagid ones from memory and with the discount even less difference than that.chunky79 wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 4:11 pmWhat pads though?PipRS6 wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 1:08 pmI got my rear discs and pads from Euro Car Parts. The misses found an online voucher code for them for 35% off. Not sure if its still active but for rear discs and pads it was around £800 down to £530 after the discount. From memory the code was CLEAR55 got to be worth a try.
Re: Front discs & pads
I've just ordered Zimmermanns and Brembos.

Re: Front discs & pads
Does anyone know if the pins are available for less than £28 a side?
I looked up part no 3D0698269 online and can't see them any cheaper.

Re: Front discs & pads
Think you can get them on sites like Misterauto. I have changed loads of pads and never needed to replace the pins or springs. The new kits I bought about 8 years ago are sitting there unused.

Re: Front discs & pads
I'm sure the ones already fitted will be fine, but knowing my luck if I don't get them something will go pear shaped.
Re: Front discs & pads
The bits look a lot like this:

It's only really the pins you're interested in. Can you measure yours?

Re: Front discs & pads
So why are you thinking of selling anyway ? Didn't you buy yours not that long ago ? Sure you got it only a short time before I got mine in January ?
Re: Front discs & pads
Christmas Eve. I just can't justify the running costs and I'm using it as a daily and it's too good a car for that I think.
I love it and it will be a sad day when it goes but such is life!

Re: Front discs & pads
The 2 front discs came to £346. Bargain.
Discount code for ECP is MAY75 if anyone's interested.

Re: Front discs & pads
ECP would start a 50% off deal just after I bought mine with 35% off! haha
