oooooooo

Your brake pads say 'racing' on the box - every mans dream!

If I remember, the instructions also tell you to 'return to the pitlane' after testing them out

New brakes

Discs and pads eventualy on!

What a fcuk on. The retaining pins that hold the front pads in the calipers were seized and would not come out. So before I set about it with the dremel I had to sauce some now pins. RRP from the dealers for pad retaining pins/spring kit is £77 . So I emailed AP Racing and they sent me some FOC

They look so much better now

Pics to follow tomorrow as I didnt have a camera with me and its to dark outside now.

 

[kriso]

Good that you got them on finally...hope they won't need changing for a while!

Pics as primised

And before anyone says anything, I know the car is filthy and needs a good wash and polish

brakes look good mate. how you getting on with pads? did u find that they didnt need wearing in..mine seemed to work straight away without any problem

have u noticed much stoppnig difference with the new discs and pads?

How much did they cost mate? Look impressive. My brakes lock up quite easy well my abs sometimes comes on and they are crap lol. Can't afford them atm though.

Big increase in stopping power?

 

[Damoegan]

I've only done about 20 miles on them so still need a few more miles to bed them in before I realy test them out. Seam fine up to now though..

Discs were £150 for front and rear and DS2500 front pads were £120.

As for stopping power, see above post.

They drilled discs look nice. The DS2500 are great, I've never been able to fade them so far I think a track day would push them a bit but they would still be much better than road pads.

 

[Damoegan]

Here are the discs I got clicky.

Kris, I never managed to get the standard stuff to fade, but I never had it on a track (yet ).

 

[Cupra_Jay]

my pads faded once or twice on track days (standard pads) would be interested to see how these get on under some abuse

 

[Damoegan]

With a bit of luck I'll get it on a track this year and give them a good testing

 

[Cupra_Jay]

nice one!! i would def recommend a track day to anyone who hasnt done one!! are great fun..but can be very expensive....tyres, fuel, brakes, paying for the track day!

 

[ChrisGTL]

Brakes looking good Damo.

Very snazzy!
