Brembo Brakes
« on: December 21, 2011, 02:50:21 pm »
Hi Guys, just had a service and been told that my discs are lipped and need replaced - £239....

I've seen this on eBay, does this seem good value? Are these the correct spec?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLF-MK5-2-0-GTi-TDi-FRONT-BREMBO-BRAKE-DISCS-PADS-312-/160644369783?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2567268d77#ht_901wt_985

Also, how much can I expect to charge for fitting at a garage.

Cheers

The price seems good.

But first check if discs and pads are worn. Garages want to sell new ones.
Minimum thickness of the rotor is 23 mm. And ask DaveB for an offer.  :smiley:

Who is DaveB? Is he ITK for parts?

The pads have a warning anyway don't they so as you say, it may be worth waiting on the pads dropping a bit more and getting a fresh set then?

I have just went out and had a look and the edges are corroded and there is maybe a 1-2mm lip......

With a discount code I can get a pair of 312mm Pagid discs with Pagid pads for £107 at Europarts.

AP, Ate, Brembo and Pagid are all highly regarded names.

If I'd live in UK I'd give DaveB a call.  :smiley:
