Looks cool m8. How much did it set you back, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Np, m8. just under £210 for the discs and pads excl. fitting. They're direct replacements.

 

they have made a VAST improvement

I agree, did the same thing to my 218 iS a couple of months back & they just seem to get better & better. Plus, the low dust Greenstuff pads make cleaning the alloys a doddle :cloud9:

Got all my stuff from Steve B at Banshee tho, thanks Steve

 

Not to piss on your carnival at all, because they look cool.. Especially, the caliper, how long did that take?

My point being though, that I put drilled and grooved EBCs on my 218is.. Then I found a bit of paper in the box they came in telling me which one went on which side..
I'd done it wrong of course...
Yours look like mine did when they were on the wrong wheels.. It might be just different disks or what have you but I thought I'l let you know just in case!! ;-)

 

They also look the wrong way round to me too

You can tell by the way the vented grooves go round the disc. They are supposed to start at the centre of the disc and spread out from the direction of travel (if you know what i mean)!

 

LOL is that right? Only they have been making a funny 'wisping' sound, but I thought that was because they were new. I too saw the labels to say which sides they went on, but it appears the mechanic who fitted them didn't:doh:
Better get on the phone then. Cheers!
P.S. they still stop the car like a brick wall, though...

 

You mean this?

Definately looks like there on wrong Sultan.

 

Why are the brakes so poor in the first place.....mine are shockingly poor......My best mate bought a Clio Sport 172 and we had a braking competition at 60 mph.....he stopped probably about 100 metres before me!! :err: That's a big difference.....and could be vital on motorways.....I've been looking into a brake conversion in the last week, and am seriously considering a 4 pot 300mm conversion.....it's going to cost about £500 though.....

 

Cheers, Netfreak. I'll get em sorted ASAP.
My original brakes seemed really spongy and took ages to stop. Vented discs all round AND ABS, and it took about twice as long to stop as my old 205 GTI with rear drums, smaller discs and no ABS!

 

Ive just converted the front brakes on my ZR105 (solid discs) to the ZR160/ZS180 vented discs. My car now stops a hell of lot quicker than it did before!

 

how much was fitting mate...front and back???
well...total price like.
was this at a good place ?

 

Fitting was done by a local mechanic who my family has used for years. I guess it was his first time fitting drilled and grooved discs:doh:
Fitting was just over £100 all in. That includes painting the calipers bit I doubt you'd get that sort of price from a garage.

 

There's no need to get a mechanic to do it though..

Even I can do it and I'm proper dumb!!!!

Get yourself a Haynes manual and save some money I say....

 

hi guys, can i fit those disks and pads on my '93 414gsi?? cos my braking is pretty sk!t.. thanks..
