Wink Crazy SIDC biker Cardiff??

When taking the mother in law, wife and sister in law out shopping on Saturday, a guy on a motorbike came up alongside me shouting something and pointing at the back of his head. Well at first i thought, this guy is a little nuts, it wasnt until he moved his helmet and shouted SIDC that i realised what he was on about, i couldnt see it when he was pointing at the back of his head but when he drove off i noticed the SIDC sticker.

Top bloke, what a nutter

The funny thing is my mother in law thought we were being hijacked
If it was you, it really improved a day which was going down hill, bike sounded great by the way

They look great behind the new wheels but they dont stop as well as i was expecting to tell the truth. Dont get me wrong, they are good, just not what i expected. At least the car stops now though

They are 40-50% worn so i will probably see the biggest difference when i get uprated discs and pads, but i may as well use up whats on these for the time being.

Maybe the next time we are both at the same meet you can give my car a quick blast to see how you find them. I wont be at this weeks meet as i have to take a load of kids to watch Stomp in Cardiff

Did you see much difference with yours?

It all makes sense now. I'll discipline him for his unruly behaviour when I see him in work!

I've just changed the pads to mintex 1155 on my brembo's along with the fluid to DOT5.1, The old pads didn't need changing they still had about a 1/3 of the pad left even after 20K use (mostly motorway) I was bleeding the brakes and thought I may as well change them.

The mintex squeek more but stop miles better, (still on standard discs)

I have got Ferodo DS 2500's in my Brembos on standard discs with braided hoses and they are great.

Since we are on discs and pads, can anyone recommend a full set of discs with rough prices. Im kind of already decided on pads, probably Mintex or ferodo. From what i can gather there isnt a large difference between them, or am i wrong?
