title is wrong, description is right but email CRN first to check. £350 all round. CRN discs are just as good as EBC in my experience. Many others are using them.

 

[S17EW O]

can anyone back this up....EBC ultimax seem to be rated highly!

I've been recently doing A LOT of research in to this exact thing the past week or so and in all fairness, most places seemed to come in at around the same price when looking at the EBC discs.

I've decided to order my EBC Ultimax discs from Brakes4U - £203.30 Fronts / £138.81 Rears including VAT and delivery. Seemed to have had good reviews by most people, so I can't see me going to wrong with them!

Also, if you use "SHOW.CODE" as a discount code.......you'll get 5% off the total price too!

Haven't got round to finding anywhere 'cheap' for the DS2500's yet though. If you find anywhere, feel free to let me know!

 

[S17EW O]

those are pretty good prices tbf....I'm not sure whether its worth going for the ds2500s for the back really. Your lookin at at least another 200ish on pads then

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

Yeah, I'm with you on that one! I think I'll just go for some standard pads for the rear and stick with the DS2500 on the front. Should be able to keep the cost to around about £150 for pads that way, by my estimations...

i have just put some EBC Plain discs that have been grooved by CRN on my LCR, coupled it with some DS2500's from Bill @ Badger 5. Stopping power is awesome!! No fade at all. I paid £130 delivered for the discs, and £135 delivered for the pads. £265 over all. Pic

 

[DannyC87]

I currently have 2piece 330mm badger 5 disc on the front of mine with ds2500 pads; but still use oem stuff on the back, still brakes very very well on track and road. IIRC Bill only uses oem stuff on his ~600bhp Race Prepped Ibiza...

 

[S17EW O]

I'm guessing that's just fronts james yeah....well that's decided then. Oem for the back....its just where to get it all supplied from now

 

[james.l]

yer that was just the front, i will be replacing the backs soon. Will be doing the rears with the same discs and OEM, or OMP pads.

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

After checking out prices over the last week or so its still cheaper to go for EBC rears instead of buying OEM one's, believe it or not!

Got mine (ebc) at breaks4u as well, good customer services

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

Has anyone had much to do with CRN discs? Been looking at those the past couple of days, just out of interest, but can't see too many reviews on them

 

[james.l]

i have got ebc discs that have been grooved by grn if that helps?

 

[D_O_U_G_I_E]

i have got ebc discs that have been grooved by crn if that helps?

I actually spoke to a guy called Olly at CRN this morning and quized him about their discs - turns out that CRN discs are all actually 'EBC' discs that they have grooved/drilled but ironically.....they work out massively cheaper!

Front & Rear grooved EBC discs, from EBC directly = £342.11 inc VAT, delivered
Front & Rear EBC discs grroved by CRN, from CRN = £163.99 inc VAT, delivered

Now l can't see there being any major differences between EBC discs that have been grooved professionally by a seperate company compared to EBC discs that have been grooved by themselves.......except £178 that is!?

 

[ibizacupra]

and I too offer eliptically grooved disks and ds2500 pads, as in the badger5 section

You can have my EBC Turbo Groove Disks and DS2500's for £8,300. (Attached to my LCR). Clicky.

I'm also in the market for new front brake discs and pads. Decided on EBC plains for front and these much heralded DS2500s however, I notice that camskills have a wee warning along the lines of "use these pads on roads at your own risk" they are for racing only etc etc. What's that all about?!

 

[james.l]

care to step in here bill? Something to do with them being a percentage better than OEM isn't it?
