Brake disc replacement options

[JSYGTI]

That’s why I’ve been sticking with EBC pads, they don’t seem to create too much mess and have a good lifespan. For heavier cars like the mk6 I’d always go red stuff up front as it’s a harder compound and can run a higher temp before fading.

I hate Redstuff installed on my MK4 R32 and I found they were awful until the brakes were hot

OEM pads then, keep it simple.

For people wondering incase you want to do it too.

I ended up purchasing Brembo UV painted discs.
More info on what this means Here

But in a nutshell;
When compared with discs with conventional corrosion protection , UV-coated discs ensure better resistance against corrosion, as confirmed by corrosion resistance testing in a salt spray chamber and moisture resistance tests. UV coating also clearly passes all tests with respect to resistance to high tempatures.

- Fronts: 10444226A
- Rears: 10444150A



And will be using these pads.

Looks like a good option, so the coating they have is similar to that on the Black Diamond disks?

How much did it all cost, if you don’t mind me asking?

Exactly I did look up the APC Black diamond and felt that at the price point they are at, I could litreally upgrade to 6 pot

In terms of price, this is the crazy part. So, I looked in the normal places and they were coming in around £80-112 per disc for the fronts and £49-60 per disc for the rear. Honestly, I was happy to pay that but then I spotted them of all places in Halfords.... £180 all in (Not including pads)

Click HERE for rears.

Just to add as well, I don't Think Halfords realise that they have these incorrectly priced ether.

I just triple checked as I doubted myself, on the side of the boxes are the model numbers.
- Fronts are: 09.9772.11
- Rear are: 08.A202.11

As you will see from these links from the officail Brembo website, they are confirmed the UV painted ones

Small update, Fitted ther fronts yesterday and everything was ok.

The rear discs were sadly 10mm to big. Have ordered the 272mm ones.
