M13KYF Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ordered a front set of EBC turbo Grooved Discs yesterday from CS @ 4pm and arrived at 12.45 today. CS even managed to get the courier to come back to collect them as I'd missed the shipment time. Very pleased CS, thanks. Now to get my brother to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I will fit them for you. Cannot put those on upside down You could try to put them on the wrong way around though I didnt realise how easy discs were until I saw it done. Very easy. But if you have someone elses hands to get dirty, then why not, I'd do the same Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 And don't forget the threadlock to put them back on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Give the calipers a bit of a clean at the same time. There are bolt in guide things inside which are a nightmare if they go wrong apparantly. I did mine when me and my mate did the discs and pads. He reckons it's a problem on older Porsche 911s that use Brembos near enough the same. Working for an indy porsche specialist I listened to him!

And a nice long socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWZ Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Mine are due soon Mike, would be good to hear feedback about the setup once they've bedded in. Can I ask, how much were they & what pads did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Mine are due soon Mike, would be good to hear feedback about the setup once they've bedded in. Can I ask, how much were they & what pads did you go for? I've been running these for about a year and a half now (30k miles) with Ferrodo DS2500. My thoughts on the setup are as follows: Cold bite is a little better than OEMOnce warmed up they are blindingly good for the priceYou need to bed them in properly unless they will squeal and performance wont quite be thereDust is no worse than OEM really, but also no better. Make sure your wheels are sealed with something like PB wheel sealant and it wont be a problemAlso leave your car in gear and with the handbrake off when parked. I noticed that if I left the handbrake on, it could bind to the disc leaving pad material behind which leads to brake judder. I fully recommend the setup. I might look to run the plain DS pads next as they are less track orientated and more road pads. Should mean cold bit is better but when warm they wont quite be on par with the DS2500.

The DS pads are great, amazing value too, I was speaking to Zedwagon, who was the first to get the pads off me and she really likes the pad, a big improvement over the standard pads... Mike's discs are £221.00, however, for members I do them for £208.00 delivered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so, but for some reason when I put it on, by brakes bind Sure someone can explain it, but Phil said to just leave it in gear. Hasnt had it since.

3FIDDYZ Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Brakes bind anyway due to moisture in the air or rain... Strange that it dosnt do it if you leave in gear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I get the brakes binding as well, but it must be the handbrake shoes sticking to the drum, cos it doesn't do it when i leave it in gear with the handbrake off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how to explain it but leaving it in gear solves it. Its not typical binding because of moisture (ie surface rust), but more imprints of the pads onto the disc. Its probably just placebo effect because I'm not letting it come to a stop with the brakes on that really stops that happening, but in this case it seems to have solved my problem.

Chesterfield Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 When leaving mine in the garage for extended periods, I leave the handbrake off, in neutral and chock one of the wheels front and rear. The fronts still seem to bind a little though if it is left for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
