Default Advice on discs

I need some advice on brake setups. I bought some grooved discs and pads from eBay and they've word quickly. Pads are almost gone and discs have a lip so I've invested in some brembo pads from eBay (not sure if they are genuine) and I don't want to make the same mistake buying **** off ebay unless it's from a trusted supplier. Any advice would be great thanks. I don't have the permission to post in the parts wanted forum so.....

Some of the stuff mtec do is great quality, I know people who have bought discs and used them for road and hot laps around the ring and they were/are spot and good value for money

why because you messaged me friday when I was on a stag do in Magaluf , got back mid day today and going through PM's this afternoon / evening , just because you haven't had a reply yet doesn't make it true , patience is all it takes.

If someone want an immediate reply , just ring !
In normal working hours we will always answer the phone

Cheers Ian

Godspeed
FACT....I emailed you from your website Saturday also Sunday as I was looking for a Full set of brakes and today is Wednesday and still no reply, so I guess you are either very busy or your email is not working. The reason to email rather than phone was that I have a very bad voice at the moment ( hosp job ) and you would struggle to hear me on the phone.
The reason to post on here is to get a reaction......and I did.

I've dealt with Godspeed and cannot fault them. Ian is very helpful and you'll get your items very quickly.

Only issue I have is that Ian went on a stag do and had a nice time. How dare you.

You could have tried ringing, but I'm sure they aren't bothered.

Now ordered my new brakes at MTEC. Very quick replies and very helpful. Do like how they offer the whole disc coated, in a choice of colour too. 10% off the discs, free bottle of fluid and free delivery. Worked out the best price.

I know how dare I lol

As most know , and have mentioned , we do work hard to help everyone , people are quite surprised to get a reply to questions late on a Sunday night , I'm not far away to reply by email at stupid times , and during working hours will always be on the end of the phone

Cheers Ian
