Brakeworld Brakes?

[myromeo]

has anyone used this manufacturer before?

Have been priced £160 for F+R pads and disks or for an extra £20 I can get mintex.

Any advice?

need to order today to get them fitted on monday.

on that note, any guides to fitting on the CTS?

[myromeo]

scrap the last part, found nrgizers guide, excellent writeup!

will order brakes and pads today (still not sure what to go for) and fit them myself at the weekend, maybe even on friday as im off work :)

im answering my own posts... god i need a life.

anyhow, just ordered the mintex front and rear pads+disks... £165 and collect them tomorrow.

so, any pointers for the weekend?

got all the spanners etc in, going to get some copper grease...

Make sure you've got plenty of WD40 too... getting the caliper bolts undone is usually the hardest part...

[myromeo]

will pick some up when i collect the brakes... will also be getting some copper grease and a g clamp.

oh, and then going to pay my car tax...

gah!

Expensive month then!

(Thought i best reply to your thread to try and help preserve some of your sanity! :P )

[myromeo]

my sanity left a long time ago... at least my medical record says so :P

For anyone interested the mintex part numbers I have ordered are

F Disks - MDC 1588 £78

F Pads - MDB 2257 £28

R Disks - MDC 1677 £53

R Pads - MDB 2596 £20

total £179 but knocked down to £165 as buying all at once.

Not the uprated parts or anything special, just decent quality OEM replacement parts, at a fair price :)

good price but its weird usually rear discs are always more expensive than the fronts.

rear? how come, they are smaller, is it that they are unusual to go and therfore dearer because scubik?

[myromeo]

Ive always found fronts to be slightly more than rears.

rears are solid, fronts are vented, not certain of diameter of each, 275 front i think?
