I need some replacement rear discs and pads.

Does anyone have any recommendations.

Where's the cheapest place for OEM stuff?

bump.... anyone please?

Godspeed do 'em. £150-ish, vented, grooved and nickle-plated as I recall. I seem to remember Ian also made a prototype with an alloy bell, which sounds rather nice so long as you don't use the handbrake for slowing down after noticing a police car in your mirror :D

Alloy Bell???? what's all that about then?? :eek:

I've got a new set of Mintex C-Tech grooved and dimpled MY 99 Disks
Cost over £170 new. Will sell for £90 ( Got them from Deemon Tweeks, but they're too small for my Type R) Can't be arsed sending them back .
I'm going to NBO if you're intrested?

<<<Alloy Bell???? what's all that about then?? >>>

Alloy bells help to dissipate heat generated in the discs, keeping the discs and the wheel bearings much cooler.

Burr I just got some Mintex Rear Pads from Halfords, for 36 quid

Turns out I dont need em, as my rear pads are fine

I'll take em Steve.

and those rear discs - are they vented? Will they fit my MY99?

I'm not going to NBO - but I'm sure someone could meet up with you for me. I'll take em if they fit.

my email is slh@orange.net

BURR.
These disks are vented and were ordered as for a MY 99 (I didn't realise Type R rears were bigger).

They come with a blue anodized coating (This comes off after first brake application!!)leaving blue hub.

No Probs, u just need to check your current pads, as Chrome had a bit of a problem with Pads he got, these are ok for my car, and according to Halfords they are for 98 on :)

these ones have a tab on either end

Sonic - do you know any of our lot that are going to the NBO?

not sure mate, im not going either, dont think Chris or Chrome are either
