Anyone fitted these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAVO-CINQUEC...itemZ7949445581QQcategoryZ23013QQcmdZViewItem) and are they good or should I spend the extra and buy Tarox?

Thx!

personally would be wary of no name discs,could be plain discs that have been machined. so could give you problems with warping/cracking

personally i'd be looking at red dot 6 grooves and fast road pads, and leaving at that if it were me.

hmm, what do i run?

I have those discs. Brought them from that store aswell. I've had them on about 6 months now. As far as i can see they are very good. I've had no problems, just a pad change. Make a nice noise when braking

:yeahthat:

I wouldn't buy brake products from eBay. Its the number one area on the car I wouldn't risk.

Aye, starting to reach that conclusion and Red Dot aren't that much more expensive. I split a CV boot and covered the brake with grease - have degreased and cleaned it, replaced pads and bedded them but brakes are awful. Must dig deep into shallow pockets....

well i brought them from a proper ebay shop.... they are not used, came brand new boxed. i dont really see a problem. they work fine so........ i dunno! lol

the issue isnt whether they are new.its that they are an unknown quantity.
as such you dont know whether the tolerences etc have been fully tested or whether they have just machined 'plain' discs.
you will only know in the long term whether cracking or warping will become an issue.

ok whatever!

do you have to declare to the insurance company about the uprated discs/pads?

You should as it is a modification to the original design of the car - sadly they may add to the premium (rather than cut it) since 'better' brakes may mean you drive the car harder rather than being able to stop sooner.
