As above really, where is the best place to get them?

or

what are the best alternative that won't shorten the life of my disc's and cake the alloys too much?

Cheers

Paul

 

Alyn at ASPerformance 0191 4103770.

Ferodo DS2500 or Pagid RS421 for road. Pagid RS42 or RS29 for track. None of these cause excessive wear or are too messy, the track pads do wear discs a bit more but only to be expected with higher friction pads..

 

Nice one thats spot on, cheers will give him a ring

 

Also what about performance friction pads?

 

if you're happy with the OE brembos, take a look on ebay. normally BIN of £130 and every so often there's an auction

 

I notice that your's has steel brake lines, does how does this affect the feel with the OE set up?

Lovely car BTW, hope you keep it mate

 

excellent mod. has them on my old classic and was so impressed it was one of the first things i bought for this one

i was quite impressed with the brembo set up anyway, but had these fitted and it gives a much firmer pedal, pretty rock solid to be honest i hate a spongy feel and i've no idea if it gives any more braking power, but it's well worth doing.

unlike the 'brake stoppers' you can get, good on a classic, but an utter waste of money on a newage. granted i fitted one after doing the hoses so it might have made a difference on it's own, but useless with the steel lines fitted.

cheers for the comments yeah it's staying for a little while longer, had a guy offer more money than agreed the other day and if that ain't enough to make me sell nothing will

 

you know it makes sence

I think I'll look into getting some of them when cash allows (sadly its tax/insurance/service this month and next, for mine and hers - DOH)

 

Sound advice from D1CCY don't get the standard brembo pads; they are sh*t. I have used Pagids from Alyn @ ASPerformance for the past few years. Good price for decent pads.

 

lol, i've got tax, service an MOT aswell this month! that was a hard call to make with the sale aswell, throw away about £600 (think discs will need doing aswell) or have a bank full of cash. what a **** keeping it

wouldn't quite go along with the statement 'they are sh*t' blind side.
they're ok if you stay off a track (maybe even ok on one?) and i've never had any problems with them fading and they work stright away whatever temp.
personally i hated the DS2500 pads, squeeky bloody things that were not great when cold. but it's hourses for courses i guess
