TypeRA28 Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I would like to upgrade my brakes. However due to an engine replacement, the wallet is not to full at the moment. Does anyone know where I can get good brakes at a good price in Aberdeen or surrounding area? I should've really done the brakes before I did anything else, but you know how easy it is to get carried away. I thank you in advance.
scientific steve Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 just the other week i had a set of mintex pads and disks put on the front of my MY98 type r for 340 pounds and all i can say is WOW check about for prices but i got these from awd in perth next day post, they had them in stock they also have braided hose kits, should be about 50 quid
Gumball Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 sorry, i got mintex pads and that was it so couldnt help you overall. Mintex are very good. i also like the anogram...................BRAKE THE BANK you cant buy humour like that anymore
TypeRA28 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Posted April 28, 2005 Thanks Chris, took me hours to think that up. Think I'll have a look at mintex. How easy is it to fit brakes yourself!!! or is it a job best left to the profs.?
zeolite Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Fitting brakes is not a big deal once you get the old ones off! You will need a big soft hammer.
Carl Davey Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 It's a pun. Anagram would be "kerb rank bath", but not quite so amusing... As far as brake upgrades go i got some reconditioned 4-pots for £180, new Tarox discs for £90, some Mintex 1155 pads for £55 and some braided hoses for £30. Fitted by myself for £0. Total cost £335. A favour was called in for the discs and i got lucky with the calipers. But they're still going strong nearly a year later.
johnnyr6 Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Where did you get the recon 4pots from m8? Sounds like a good price to me
WUZ Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Ive got a set of 4-pot calipers, disks and pads coming off my MY00 RA in the next week (AP's going back on) £230 for the lot if you want them (pads have about 200 miles left in them!). Fitting is an extra £50 (including full bleed of brakes to new fluid). Would recommend getting some braided hoses as well (£50) Total will be £280 supplied or £340 fitted for all of the above!

TypeRA28 Posted April 29, 2005 Author Posted April 29, 2005 How much would I be looking at for new pads?
fraser_drinkwater Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 brakes are easy, i fitting my DBA and mintex combo the mora, with a lager!!!

WUZ Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 New pads are anywhere from £50 -£100 depending on what type you get and what needs you require to be met. Russell
Carl Davey Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Chris, completely wasted mate. I'd be far more adept at writing the names on them after.
Power Junkie Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Russell. I would take the discs, Let me know! Cheers Mark.
