Front brake pads & discs

[Naveed922]

Can someone link me a pair of front brake pads and discs as when looking online, so many different sizes come up. Especially ECP, dont want to order wrong parts. Not after performance or anything.

So, what has changed since you previously asked for this info and was given advice?

First thing is to look at your car and check which version of front brakes it has, ie 288mm discs or 256mm discs, I'd think that they will be 288mm but check that first, tip - 288mm front brakes have a vertical anti rattle spring, 256mm front brakes have, or used to have FS111 cast into the body of the calliper fist and no vertical anti rattle spring.

Are you able to check from these pictures , on the calliper I believe it says fs 11

Also when i do change the front brake and pads, do i need to bleed the system ?

It looks like FS 111 to me, so that means the brake disks are 256mm, look for pads that have "lugs" on them if using ECP at least the pictures on that website are normally correct. Also, I'd guess that there will not be brake wear sensor wiring on these pads, or at least on a single pad.

No need to bleed the brakes, just ease the pistons in slowly and make sure that excess fluid does not start to come out of the reservoir.

So i go for 256mm and pads with the "T" looking lug ? and also do i need a special tool for winding the piston back ?

Actually the ECP website does have plenty descriptive content to help you, the discs are described as being 256mm and the correct pads are described as being for 256mm brakes type FS 111 with or without wear sensor, now if you want to save a couple of £s why not buy the version with wear sensor on one pad and just cut that lead off with wire cutters, as these pads are slightly cheaper than the ones without wear sensors, which is stupid.

The pistons on the front just push in, no special tool required.

So im guessing these discs and pads would fit without a problem, 256mm

Yes these should be the correct parts.
