Discs and pads recommendations
« on: 17 February 2024, 14:22 »
Hi guys, had mot today and have advisories on rear disc and pads, now I’m looking at replacing discs and pads all found, any recommendations on decent replacements that I can fit?

Cheers Jason

And also, does anyone know if the Carly device can retract the electronic handbrake?

ATE discs, Brembo pads.

No idea if Carly can do the service mode, sorry.

Can highly recommend this kit from Awesome, had it on mine now since December and I have no complaints, braking is a touch noisier though, obviously.


I see they also do this now too, with various options.

I went for OEM all round, Brembo everything and no regrests.
