(G) Anyone tried discs from here?

hgt20v · 04-12-2005

Well the total upgrade fever continues

on my hgt and have seen these on ebay

Has anyone had any experience of these or this seller, or would it be safe to buy only branded discs from one of the main retailers?

Any advice on either the ebay ones or what else to recomend would be greatly appreciated. Would anyone have any recomendations to matching pads?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't risk saving pennies on things like disc brakes. You get what you pay for and for only 80 quid these may just be normal discs which have been drilled and grooved.

Better to get dimpled or only grooved as these are less likely to crack.

Thanks for the advice. Suppose like you say it makes alot of sense

Any recomendations where to buy from and what to buy for front and rear discs?

Cheers

hehe its been covered a few times. So far people are going for EBC turbo grooved (dimpled and grooved) with green stuff pads, red dot, black diamond (i'm personally getting some of these) and if you have the money tarox g88's

hi m8
don't be put off by anyone i bought some of thease discs for my primera sport. it's the same seller as well. they are **** hot and at only £80. and he post them fast aswell. if he does them for the marea 1.6 i will have another set off him. half the price of ebc or black diamound and just as good.

go for it task.

how many miles have you clocked up on these discs?
a set of standard discs that have been machined will obcviously seem fine.

nobody is saying theres anything wrong with them but from someone thats had a disc shear on them trust me you dont want to risk it

did not have the car long after i fitted them i wrote it off. nowt to do with the brakes. they are made by lockheed and good quality. just trying to save u lot some money. but if u prefer to pay double for a name brand go ahead.
