Discs and pads

[wingswest]

Hi guys,

Was thinkng of getting these from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAXO-VTR-VTS-FRONT-DRILLED-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-PADS-/320553621454?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aa27c17ce

What do you think?

Thanks

Bit expensive for front discs and pads, but if you want some drilled and grooved ones then go for it.

No make? Maybe just a stickler for quality - but I'd look to the more common routes that you are sure will be decent and have been tried and tested rather than buying un-branded ones off ebay, which could quite possibly be made of poorer quality materials.

If you are serious about a better braking package I suggest looking at this:

Yes it is expensive, but they are one of if not the best braking package for fast road usage available to the 247mm setup.

Bascially I just wanted a set that look good.
My car is a show car,so i wanted them just for looks.

My cars never driven fast etc...

So I don't really need anything for a better braking package..

Fair enough - but if it's for looks then you don't need expensive pads. They are hidden by the caliper anyway so would be a waste.

Some 406 4 Pot Brembos or similar would probably be the best 'show caliper' for the cash - they'll have huge discs which will look good, and have a decent enough surface for painting, with the obvious attraction of being 'Brembo' so a big brand. Not massively great for performance however, but as you say that is of little concern to you. Need at least 15" wheels though for anything bigger than 266mm.
