Disc life

[swerver]

Merry christamas to one an all.

What is the average life span for a set of lcr discs because when im braking (only sometimes though) theres a noise coming from he brakes. If they do need changed is it worth sticking with the standard ones or change to a different make or same discs different make of pad?

Cheers

Check Bills section.
I've changed my discs (roughly @ 40K miles) but they could still do an extra 20K miles.

LCR brakes are always going to be noisier because thay are not floating caliper. But otherwise, check remaining pad thickness and how much of a lip is in the disk itself.

Lol, what is the average length of a piece of string .

Its entirely down to how you drive the car. All motorway and you could well get 60k out of them , drive like a looney around town all the time and you'll kill them in 20k.

Come on bill.... even you can spot which one it is

Changed fronts at 40000 and rears have just been changed last week at 42000.

Pads i would reccomend DS2500.

Just reviving this rather than starting a new thread.

I know that this question is very subjective but I'm just trying to get an idea of averages...

My car has done 42k (most of the first 34k - in 3 years - was done on the motorway) and I haven't driven it 'that' hard since I've had it.

I have some new pads for the front and am trying to decide if I should just do them or get the discs done at the same time too - there's a small (mill or so) lip on the front discs.

I don't think the back pads have ever been changed either.

 

[ibizacupra]

you need to check actual thickness to judge... they start at 28mm thick and minimum is 26mm.

 

[Mitchy]

Yes i'd get them done now for peace of mind.

Get the grooved discs from bill above ^^^

<<<< Look good and im sure he'll sort you out with a decent price if you get the pads aswell from him

 

[ibizacupra]

grooved depth on the ones I do for LCR is also the wear indicator. when they wear past the grooves they are at 26mm minimum thickness. (a nice little feature we chose to add)



PS... Also doing some 2 piece disks for some peeps currently... 323 or 330 sized.
(rotors £135+vat each, ally bells £60+vat each, mounting bolts £10.99/disk set)

Also doing them in 4x100 304x28 fitment.

Previously disks were £220+vat each - *MUCH Cheaper now*
