Title: New brakes needed
Post by: jonesltd on 21 September 2011, 15:37: Ok been onto eurocarparts and am confused after puttin my reg in.

It comes up with 288mm and 312mm - which ones do I need and if I went for the 312mm does that mean I need to change my calipars? I just need brakes and discs for a 1.9 130bhp with a remap on 52 reg

On ebay for everything are 139.99 and they are grooved which was told they are better? 180617624128

Post by: jonesltd on 21 September 2011, 16:08: How much are carriers thou?

The ebay ones arent too badly priced? Never heard of them mind you but only heard of Eicher and Pigid.

Re looking on eurocarparts they seem expensive? 40.23 each for front and then need back and pads?
