New Brakes?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi strangers, cleared all my fault codes with a simple change of dash instruments!! Only problem is I've gained 30,000 miles!!

Anyone know any mileage correction specialists??

Got a budget of £1000 for new front brakes, what do people have and recommend?

Looking at gold Brembo's and 356mm K-sports at the mo.

Still waiting on paintshop for respray, but busy fitting alloy race rad and p1 angel spots for now. :rotfl:

Got to agree with Steve, Tony the K Sports are a good deal.

You could start a group buy as Granby and I might be interested. :rotfl:

I don't have anything as posh as Brembos on mine, but I do have Tarox track day stuff. Funnily enough it was in for a service recently at the dealers and they pointed out there was only a few thousand miles left on the front pads. They offered to replace them. "Standard front pads?" I asked. "Yes". On hardened vented discs? Errr, I'll pass thanks :rotfl:

Recently bought and had fitted the Front K Sport 330mm 8 Pots, and Rear 330mm 6 Pots (c/w Ferodo DS 2500 pads)

Currently running them in, and will try them out in anger at the Siverstone Triple Club Trackday on 23rd August.

Report will follow.

Kip is running K Sports i think, and he will tell you they are better than APs

As for changing the mileage, theres loads of people in the Auto trader that come do it for 20 quid!!

Thanks guys, looking at D2's and KAD's also. Think the K-sports are winning at the mo. Can get some Prodrive calipers but require new discs and pads which I cant source yet.

Godspeed Brakes should be able to sort some for you, i've got his 335 kit on mine

Unbeknown to many Tony the D2 set up is produced in the same Factory as the K-Sports! But the K,s are cheaper! I have the 356mm kit on mine tested in anger on trhe Ring and a moment at 130mph on the Autobahn when a pole decided to pull out into my lane! Standard brakes would have not stopped me i would have been in his boot! Im running street pads at the moment which are good. They would be immense with DS2500,s on .

Just my tuppence worth!

I would love a set of Alcons on my motor awsome stopping power for 4pots! Also having Prodrive branded on the side makes them look the dogs ;)

They must be good then,

I had AP' 4pot's on my TypeR and they were the mutts-nutt arounds Silverstone.

The same spec Pads on my Newage Brembos were dire after half a lap. (But, the disks were solid and the car is 100kg heavier).
