Thanks Godspeed!
 

Got married a month ago so now I have a bit of spare cash, I decided to treat myself to some new brakes and I cannot compliment Godspeed enough!

I spoke to Ian and he was friendly and helpful. Brakes turned up fully trackable and even let me know when they will turn up between an hour.

Got them fitted and they are spot on! Few before and after pics below!

Godspeed are always great to deal with, give plenty of advise if needed big thumbs up to Ian & Ben aswell :)

Just wondering maybe its just me but that bottom bic of ur front brembo that disc looks the wrong way round lol

Many thanks Matt , and the disc looks the right way to me :thumb:

Cheers Ian

Yep sorry matt just my eyes playing tricks on me :D I new it would be me it always is lol

Thats good, glad its the right way around ha!

Looks great ian helped my with Kevlar pads on my impreza great service no problems

same setup here they work really well

Bought a set off Ian a few weeks ago still running them in just got to do the high speed braking to finish the job :)

Even running them in they work well and for the price I paid think they are extremely good value (grooved discs/kevlar pads)

I've only done around 100 miles and have been braking gently. When is the High speed brake due?

This thread title reminded me of the old Guinness posters.

So Ian you can have your new strap line on me.

'Thank Goodness for Godspeed'.

Normally Ian sends a note out with purchases.

iirc it's 300 miles of normal A/B road braking then afterwards it's 5 or 6 hard braking from 70mph to 20mph (obviously only when safe to do it).
Do it once,let the brakes cool a little then do again

Give Ian a ring and he can tell you if I've remember it correctly.

Just done a few today and feck me they stop well although I'm in a classic so a bit lighter with more braking force :)

lol at the above :D

Here is what we recommend for bedding them in

You need to bed the discs in now which will chemically cure them , this needs to be done over 300 miles of normal A and B road driving , DO NOT use the brakes hard in this time , once you have done 300 miles you can start braking from speed , brake down hard from 70 to 20 on a clear road when safe to do , do not stop still , carry on driving to cool them off , carry this out about 5-6 times and they should be ready to use in anger , you may get some fade the first time you push them very hard which is normal

Cheers Ian

+1 on top blokes and top service.:thumb:

Any deals on four pot discs and pads for my96 classic?

Bought the same for my Sti and very happy with them and the service from Godspeed.:thumb:


How easy was it to remove your old rear discs,did you have to use the screw the bolt in the hole method,or was it just the hammer in the picture.:lol1:

Think he always has a deal on :lol1:

Had these on my 4 pots and they worked damn well (calipers did have stainless steel pistons so they added to the effect)

I have the Godspeed two piece discs on the front of mine and they have been very good. Need to change my pads though now what's recommended as a good pad for standard road use

Pm'd Godspeed about new discs week or 2 ago still no reply.

Just checked through my PM's and can't see one from you ?? you can either resend it , or email me ian@godspeedbrakes.co.uk , or do it the really old fasion way and ring me on 01656 723060 :D

Cheers Ian

Depends what pads you want , if its the kevlar pads the only deal we have on at the mo is whats on our website

You have to be careful when removing the rear discs , they could be stuck to the drive flange due to rust , and a tap with a mallet usually breaks the seal , but if the handbrake is holding the discs on , and you screw bolts into the two holes to get them off you will end up damaging the handbrake mechanism , you need to check that the handbrake shoes need to be loosened off first , the discs will come off very easy then

Cheers Ian

DS2500. The perfect everyday/occasional fast road pad, all things considered. IMO of course.

Cheers for the advice Ian!


The hammer was used to great effect, I think the previous owner only replaced the pads and the discs were from 1950, they were in terrible condition and were near impossible to get off! The main issue was at the front, had to remove a suspension bolt to get the caliper bolt off. Not sure if anyone else had that issue? I didnt fit the fronts, a friend did!

Ian,

I sent you a PM and an email in the last couple of days, did you get either of them?
Can you reply please?

Thanks,

Andy
