Brake discs (again)

[Contigo]

which kevlars Contigo? The only i know are from FD.

EBC Red Stuff!

 

[Contigo]

Yellow stuff here too , all round.. I have a small squeak that I am hoping will disappear once fully worn in.... Other than that they are very good

My red have strated squeaking under very light braking when hot. It is annoying but I guess you get then when they glaze.

 

[Chrisbassett]

Anyone got a favourite place to buy the EBC Yellows from? Fronts needs replacing after my recent gentle potter round the old runways of wales...

 

[CatmanV2]

I got mine from EBC direct.

EBC Red Stuff!

i think reds are caramic, not kevlar, but still thanks for replying.

This material is a Kevlar® fibre based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. If you have previously tried EBC redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer, it brakes better and is quieter.

[Mr.Cambio]

That's it. They say it's ceramic ("pre ceramic compound") but it's kevlar with etc etc..

I got mine from EBC direct.

Just ordered. Hopefully get those and the x-pipe fitted at the same time when they arrive next week. I'll have to head up to Marios sometime soon as well.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Give us some feedback Chris..

Hi all,

I can't find the thread about sourcing new brake discs?? so thought I would post here. I need mine sooner rather than later and see that Eurospares are doing these for the Ferrari 550 now:

http://www.eurospares.co.uk/searchResult_one.asp?S=169765&TM=1&TMo=374&TA=1&TB=19870

These should fit our cars shouldn't they? Still works out at £300 ish but cheaper than the Maserati ones...

[Chrisbassett]

I think the issue there is the 8-week wait time.

Apparently in stock!

 

[Evo Cymru]

In stock? Will give them a try - cheers!

Apparently in stock!

Says delivery 1 to 2 months on the website ?

 

[zagatoes30]

Eurospares ones look reasonable value if they are in stock.

I guarantee that the discs shown on Amazon are not available. There are NO Brembo Ferrari 550 discs available anywhere in the UK and there will be no further supply as far as anyone has been able to ascertain.

 

[Neil Surrey Labs]

Order a pair and see what happens and then report back.
MAF has done a lot of work in this space and it seems that we are left without any choice but to buy massively expensive and average quality OEM discs.
Worth less than £100 a pair we pay £500 a pair.

 

[Chrisbassett]

Unless something has changed you will get a confirmation email then a few days later an apologetic email telling you that your order can't be filled and offering a refund.

 

[Neil Surrey Labs]

meanwhile Ive been back in contact with Hi-Spec who will deliver a pair of 2 part discs for the same sort of price as the meh OEM discs
