Brake discs (again)

[ALEXM]

I have tried both APS & OPIEoils with regards to sourcing replacement discs for my 4200 GT Spyder .OPIE oils say that they are no longer supplied with these discs and APS have told me that some one has recently purchased all their remaing stock . Does anyone know of alternative suppliers of the Brembo discs?

Maybe they got more?

Unless, of course, they're out of stock.

Not a bad price

Those look like standard "vented" only discs Catman..?? The numbers on the Brembo boxes that I bought which were 550 discs, drilled & vented, were:
Front: 09.6802.20 / OE-169765, Rear: 09.5519.30 / OE-171573

Pictures are generic. The part number is further down and the same as you quote.
But that's AP (who just had all their stock sold) .

Price is similar to what I paid.

My discs & pads are nearing the end of their lives sadly so will be looking to buy a set.

Does anyone know of any deals available on these Brembo 550 discs before I get on the phone?

And also, what would you guys say are the best pads to compliment these discs on a 3200? I've had a search through previous forum posts and there seems to be a wide range of pads tried by various people so I would welcome any comments.

Thanks all

I have Ferodo front and EBC yellows on the back.

They work just dandy for me. I can recommend the braided hoses that were available from a forum member as well. Braking is pretty fine IMHO.

Thanks lads for all your help I have contacted the vendors but unfortunately these dealers mentioned are currently out of stock and do not expect any deliveries of new stock for 4-6 weeks . Any other options out there ?

I bought from these guys a couple of weeks back. Good service, fast delivery and a decent price.

 

[Almichie]

I had to wait 6 weeks for the rears but I planned for that; Xmas brought a 24. Hour 25% discount at Opie...

Thanks everyone

do the ferodos need some time to warm up?

I use DS 2500 front pads and they work well from cold with good 'bite'. However, I do find that when they get really hot they start to make that awful 'grinding' noise but they don't seem to fade. I am going to replace them with EBC yellow stuff which, Conaero will tell you, work really well from cold and stop very well without fading.
