Cupra Brake Pads and discs

[Smee]

I have been looking for Discs and Pads for a while

has any one ever used EICHER discs? there £25 on Eurocarparts

EICHER n/a 104440851 FRONT BRAKE DISC AUDI TT/S3 (1) FRONT BRAKE DISC AUDI TT/S3 (2)
312mm

but i cant find anything on them so thought i would ask.

where else can i get some cheap Discs and Pads from

also need some rear pads too

I don't know about cheap, but it might be worth speaking to Bill at Badger 5? I've got all my replacement braking stuff from him, and he supplies quality items at good prices with good customer service. Just a thought.

thanks i emailed Bill waiting for a reply. but i dont think he can do discs for that cheap lol

I got my DS2500 pads off Bill, top quality pads there are too. I got my discs off ebay (look for leon/TT 312mm discs), got front and rear drilled and grooved discs for £150.

GFS are £25 as well for the discs

 

[TazB]

do you really want to put your life in the hands of £25 discs? (if discs had hands)

i don't think discs for my 1.1 saxo were that cheap!

 

[Smee]

i know but then a part of me says they have to meet a standard before they can sell and do disc's really differ that much?

The DS2500 pads are what AP racing supply with there calipers and are suppose to be good performers all temperatures. So they should be pretty awesome.

They are very good, they bite well from cold to hot temps. Around the same price as the ones the dealers will sell you too.

In my limited experience of buying aftermarket brake discs for VAG cars, I've only bought and fitted and used 4 complete sets, I've found that ECP and/or GSF supplied discs, well in my case ATE ones, are both extremely cheap and quite satisfactory. You can always go and get Brembos and spent some more money - but do they use distinctly better material, machine to tighter tolerances and check for stress and cracks any more than ATE or the manufacturer listed by the OP, one thing, I thought that Jurid was the item of choice if ATE was not used and you wished to stick to roughly OEM!

Edit, it could be that silly Sh**roen includes hub and maybe bearings in their brake discs - just a thought based on facts!

 

[Smee]

right i have spoken to Bill and got his prices and spoken to euro car parts.

Bill wants £63.51 / pair
Euro want £50.00 / pair

as i need rears as well Bills total comes in at £214:20 including delivery.

Damo what ones did you get on Ebay?

i would prefer Gooved but Bill is a bit to expensive for the Grooved stuff (above is all solid faces)

Just my extra two pence worth, for normaly useage I'd think that you could give the grooved discs a miss, I've got them fitted to the front of my Passat as it has rear mounted front callipers - and this set-up is prone to wet weather wash-out, as your are front mounted, the callipers should get protection from water from the wheel.

 

[Smee]

ehh what do you mean??

i will be track daying my car

These are the ones I got of ebay, Lee clicky.

 

[Smee]

thanks for that mate. i just emailed him i dont want drilled i want just grooved but all depends how many grooves there are

Then i might just get the Bads from Bill

Lee

 

[Damoegan]

There are also these discs, Lee clicky.

 

[Smee]

thanks ill keep looking

You can request what ever grooves you want. ChrisGTL on here got his with 6 grooves on.

 

[Smee]

really.. 6 sounds promising.... i dont think ill get them up to high enough temp for day to day use to warrent 40 grooves plus obviously reduces friction.

6 to 10 would be ideal for when i track it occassionally

thanks ill go have a look over there webby

 

[Damoegan]

If I were you I would just ring them up and have a chat with them and see what they can do for you mate.
