Vented disks, Eicher vs Pagid
« on: 27 November 2010, 22:13 »
Anyone run (or rate) Eicher disks? Just spec'ing up some new parts, and can't understand how standard spec disks can differ in price so much.

Pagid Vented ... £36
Eicher Vented ... £20

I'm not going to cheap out on brakes, but can there actually be a difference?

Wish I had got some basic discs instead of paying £130 for some!

I got Brembo vented ones from GSF for about that price and pagid pads.  No faults so far.

This.

Or Pagid, if you must.

Couldn't get Brembo from GSF/ECP etc., so got the Pagid ones from ECP in the end.

I read loads of reviews about EBC discs and there seems to be concerns over quality, although this may be from the past :undecided: Sorry Brakes4u!
