Brake Discs & Pads
 

I am getting some front brake judder & looking at the front discs today they are quite corroded. I am going to fit new ones but looking at eBay there are a wide range of different ones at wide ranging prices. Some are Mintex & many are unbranded but are the branded ones genuine? anyone got any recently at a reasonable price & found them to be OK, any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Mike

unbranded I doubt will be genuine.

mintex, brembo, pagid all decent makes. I think some say mintex give off a lot of dust.

As far as I am aware, there's still a lot of fake mintex doing the rounds on ebay so if you do buy from there, just make sure it's from a reputable seller.

I got myself a set of TRW discs from mister-auto.co.uk for a good price, good quality and the unswept areas are painted to prevent rusting.

Delivery can take a little longer though as they ship from france but it's never taken more than 5 working days to get an order from there.

You linked to Gmail, I don't think that's what you meant. :}

Yes.
Sorry.
I meant Euro Car Parts have a sale?? FLASH50 50% Off.

I replaced my rear discs & pads with EBC, brought direct from EBC, who balanced them. I'm really impressed, there doesn't appear to be much brake dust - granted they are on the rear though.
When I come to replace the front I shall do the same. It's pricy but, I think it's worth it.

EBC do various pads with different stopping but I don't know if they do them for our cars.

I have EBC pads on my bike, pretty impressive.

EBC ultimax2 (black stuff) and green stuff are available for the standard front brakes on the 75 and ZTs. I think the full range (green, yellow, red, 'etc) is available for the rear and for the 190 spec front brakes.

I decided to try black diamond FR pads this time. Haven't fitted them yet though, they were cheap enough to give a go and replace them again if they suck.

Thanks for the info, I've just ordered some Pagid discs & Eicher premium pads for £59, collecting tomorrow
