Title: What brake disks?
Post by: rio_gti on 20 March 2013, 21:59

Gotta buy some 312 disks and am stuck at what to get!!!

Obsessed with getting brembos  but I don't know why!!!!

What do people use

are there differences between brembos, pagid, eicher etc?

Brembos @ about £90 pair
Pagid @ £68 pair

That price you said, did it include the alloy mounting bells?  Or are they single piece 312mm

So what car are they originally from, do they fit straight on?  Then use 4 or 6 pots on the front?

cheers... you usint the normal or the painted? as i think i would prob go for the black disks...... think they should be black all the way thru  :undecided:

red stuff??? are they too much for just rode use? although with the red calipers i think would look better... and less dust i suppose

Black disks are a waste of time they will be silver within minutes and sorry EBC Pads are an absolute waste of money Read the reviews on them from various car enthusiast sites!!! Ferrodo sh!t all over ebc in terms of quality!!  as said I had brembo disks on before And the Pagids are no different in quality If you are running the plain Brembos and not the grooved etc!
