All done

We have spare:

3x sets of drilled+grooved discs
1x Ceramic/Kevlar pads.

We can also offer other pads to go with the remaining discs inc Ferrodo, Pagid and PF. PM me for a price.

If enough people want Goodridge Braided Brake Lines and High Temp Brake Fluid post your interest on here and I will sort something out.

Quick question on these, should they be installed as below?



I sourced this image from another post so sorry if its yours!!

Secondly should I do anything special with the pads? ie. brake from high speed a few times or go easy on them for so many miles.................?

Cheers

Most welcome guys

The discs are straight veined (non-directional), but I tend to fit them as pictured above.

I will get some bedding in instructions uploaded.

Yeah I looked it up and saw them fitted both ways.

Glad I was not the only one asking, thought I might look like a bit of an idiot when I first posted it!!!

Pick up a piston seal kit from your local dealer. Also inspect all the pistons once they are removed and replaced any damaged or pitted ones. This will save you a whole host of problems later on.

StopTech have some good bedding-in instructions: StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades

Use the procedure for 'street performance pads'.

Only thing I would add is the importance that you don't come to a full stop or brake so hard you engage the ABS. It's better to snub the brakes rather than stamp on them. Also be very careful not to put your foot on the brakes when stationary at lights or junction with the brakes hot.

Remember, the idea is to get the brakes upto temperature and get some material on the discs. - not to try and go out and kill them.

Cheers,

Bob

Goodridge braided lines are £18 a line with the more expensive stainless fittings (sets of 4).

Motul RBF600 is £9.95 per bottle (500ml).

Fitted them saturday without a hitch. (I fitted them as per the drawing posted ealier). They certainly look good and, although i'm still bedding them in, the initial feel is promising. Mind you they can't be any worse than my standard discs, they had bigger lips than Leslie Ash!

Thanks Bob.

Your's had to be scheduled for pickup seperatley to the rest as it was an international order.

It's been dispatched though and should be with you in 3-4 days

Hi Jan,

You need to track it via UK DHL (not .com). I've just checked and it is showing as "held in warehouse due to incomplete/incorrect address".

PM me your full address how it should read line by line and I will have it amended by DHL. We used the one provided on the order.

This job cost me much more than I hoped!! One piston was not moving very freely, not wanting to warp the new discs I had to get some recon'd calipers!

Bloody car. More than doubled the price of the job!!!

They are working well now tho!

It's worth doing properly as it will be cheaper in the long run
