My discs and pads are near the end of their life so i have been looking for a cheap set and came across these:
SUBARU IMPREZA STI DRILLED BRAKE DISCS MINTEX PADS 01- on eBay, also Brake Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 10-Jul-09 22:11:10 BST)

Also, i am after a fitting guide for the discs and pads and how to adjust the handbrake if anyone has a link or advice.

I know the discs may be no better than standard parts, but im not really looking for a performance increase at the minute, just a set that meets or beats standard parts and suits my budget for now.
Opinions welcome,
Ian

 

Im pretty sure thats the company i bought the disc's from that i've been using on my classic, and tbh I cant fault them. They are no worse than the OEM disc's probably a little better under heavy breaking. I've not had a problem with them anyway. Think I only paid about 140-150 though. Hope this helps.

 

Ye, £140-£150 is about what they are asking for classic discs. All i am after is something as good as the OEM discs/pads so if they are the ones you are using it sounds like i could be on to a good thing

 

Yeh they are at least as good as the OEM parts mate, and that was using cheap pads. Im pretty sure the discs are supplied to them from the company 'Brake Engineering' and for some reason I think TurboDean mentioned them a couple of years ago when I was looking for the discs.

 

fitting them is real easy mate, talk to you on wednesday

 

Cheers Ellis!


I have also spoken to the supplier and he sounds like he knows his stuff and has given me some other options.
Has anyone heard of "Allied Nipon" pads? He says they are the next thing up from the mintex pads in terms of performance and budget or should i just stick with what i know?
He also suggested yellow stuff pads. I have heard some good things about these, but what do you lot think?
