Ruddles Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 As the title suggests, Alex has possibly literally been a life saver! A short while back I bought some front discs and pads and finally got round to fitting them this afternoon....well I paid my friend The new brembo discs and Ferodo pads are amazing, such stopping power made me think I must not have had working brakes before! ...how right I almost was! Here's some pics of the old discs /pads: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Ouch those look painful. I will need new pads for my European trip, don't want to be crashing on the Nurburgring due to worn out pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddles Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Wasso - I highly recommend Alex for all your braking needs!! My amateur opinion is that the pistons were completely off But I'm no expert in these matters! The pics don't show it too well, but there's not alot left at all! The lips on the old discs were huge though most of it looks like it had rusted and broken off over the years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Interesting! As a matter of interest, what year is your car and what is the milage on it... Any pictures of the new brakes? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's a 53 plate with roughly 60k mileage Here's some pics (not good quality sorry, as it's pretty hard to get some decent pics now they're on the car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
