Which LCR Brake Discs?

[Nimzy]

Hey guys and gals, my front discs are need of a change on my LCR and was wondering what are the best to go for, my car has never seen a track and probably wont do anytime soon, so it would be just for everyday use, and the occasional fast road use too lol, and also any pad recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Any old plain 323mm discs

EBC?

I have EBC ultimax but I'd probably just get plain ones next time.

Is there a noticeable difference with the EBC ultimax over stock brembo discs? other then the price lol

I've got the EBC Turbo Grooved discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads. Pretty ferocious combination!

Where's the best to buy them from? Are they good for everyday use or do they only perform well with hard use?

 

[Gnollins]

Good for everyday use. I usually order from MotorsportWorld. I think the discs are £200-ish, pads are £150.

I think that answers my questions thanks guys

Guys wheres the cheapest/best place to get either the EBC ultimax or std brembo discs for an LCR??

 

[Gubien]

A few months ago i ordered EBC Ultimaxx at camskill.co.uk - I think they were best priced, and they also do the DS 2500

GSF sell plain ebc discs for about £100 a pair for the lcr

Have you used these before? If so what are they like?? And thanks buddy will have a look at camskill now.

I personally havent yet but i plan on doing so soon. Alot of people use them on here in combo with ds2500's and swear by them. I think bill at badger5 on here sells them also and not much more expensive than gsf

Speak to Badger 5 on here. He gave me a great price on EBC Grooved Disks, and Ferodo DS2500 pads. The combination of the 2 IMP, are great for the price!!

nope, I'm not bothering next time.

They do look nicer though lol

I also used to use DS2500, but downgraded to DS2000 to save money and noticed no change. My next set will be a cheap pair of Mintex pads (with the wear sensor) for £27, lol.

 

[ibizacupra]

good luck with £27 mintex pads!

you will need it

I had the EBC USR discs and rate them highly! Bar the dust that first comes off them.

 

[Nimzy]

Bill Can you price me up a recommended set of disks and pads, like mentioned before won't ever be used on a track but will be getting mapped soon

Nothing wrong with Mintex. Please tell me why I will need luck.
They're going to be used on a standard LCR which just does normal day-to-day driving.
If they're crap I will let you know.

I've noticed no difference between DS2500 and DS2000, except the price.
In fact, I'd recommend the DS2000s over the DS2500s because they have less brake dust and also save you a lot of money.

People used to say EBC were crap but their discs are fine.
