What do you want out of your brakes?
Do you want a cheaper alternative to the OEM ones?
Or do you want upgraded set up to handle more spirited driving?

 

[ianmartin83]

so these won't be as good as originals then? thats all i need really? or any sugesstions?

 

[Willie]

Is that deal £154.99 inc delivery of front discs and pads with rear discs and pads?
Thats very cheap!!

 

[ianmartin83]

yes £155 delivered for front and rear drilled and grooved discs and brake pads, i thought that was very cheap aswell.

anybody know what the quality is like? Are mintex pads any good?

 

[james walker]

mintex are oem quality ish...

cant find the link, what brand are the discs?

tbh, they wont be an upgrade as such, but should be as good as oem if they are mintex discs and pads.

 

[ianmartin83]

dont think they are mintex discs, heres the link again.

If you do buy these don't get the drilled ones, go for the grooved only ones.
Drilled discs have been known to crack, especially as these holes are very close together

these do look a good buy... may have to get my self some if they are just as good as OEM ones as i was just going to replace them with stock ones.

is that the default size needed i take it?

I've heard that mentioned a lot so I only got GGrooved ones. Having said that, I saw a porshe the other day and that had drilled....

 

[Willie]

I had Brembo drilled discs which never cracked.
Quality ones should be better but all drilled ones are more prone to cracking

 

[pauldredge]

what ones did you get dyscontinued?
