New Brakes Needed?

[Gordomc69]

No idea what I am looking for but they look rusty as fuck to me..?

they don't look great, but to be fair the pictures aren't that clear. Run your finger along the surface of the disc, when cold of course if they feel 'grooved' as opposed to smooth, obvious lipping at the rim compared to the face, then they probably need replacing.

Although, not the best focused photos ever, they do look quite lipped if they are, bin em'

How long have they been on the car and how many miles have you done on 'em?

I think they've been on since it was built, that is a guess though.

Car has done 33,000 miles.

Can see a few surface cracks in them if you look closely, time for new discs and pads all round I reckon

 

[James FR]

Yea they will probably want changing then, just did mine at 45k for the second time.

If you are after a good price for official ones delivered I would recommend Sere Motors, SEAT have just released some anti corrosion ones... to early to see if its made a difference yet, but they aint doin the normal rusting after being stood out over night.

my advice would be get some EBC Discs

i upgraded from standard to EBC grooved and drilled + Greenstuff pads and there alot better

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

Greenstuff = poop IMO

Just go for OE replacments all round I reckon, something from a factors by Mintex, EBC, Tagi, Brembo etc.

If you wanna do mods in the future and its a pd130, go for 312mm calipers and carriers
