Can it be done?

Can I get a fair set up of front brakes for £400 or less?

Cheepest 1/2 decent set i can find is PF at £550, anyone got any idea if i can do better?

Don't get buget brakes, you get what you pay for and its your safety we are talking about :hammerhea

Thats what i was afraid of

Looks like i'd better dip into those savings once again!

Speak to MADMAT on here, he set me up with a really nice set of mintex front discs with ferrodo pads all around. for not far off what you want to pay £....reccommend very highly.

Go for the PF you will never look back !

Discs from Madmat and Carbotech XP8 Pads from me will make your car stop a hell of a lot better and not break the bank

If you are going for budget brakes make sure you go down to your nearest boat shop and buy yourself a good strong chain and an anchor cos you are going to need it if you scrimp on your brakes

Try JPS motorsport they did my higher carbon discs all round,braided hoses all round, and EBC red stuff pads all round and fitted them all for £450 including the VAT.Lovely bunch of lads and the brakes are incredible. Speak to paul 01908 367100

Bullsh*t

PF .11 pads £100
Camskill standard discs £250

So what exactly is wrong with that considering you get better brakes than a standard car?

i'm gonna give these a whirl

Just bought EBC Turbogroove slotted/dimpled discs and redstuff ceramic pads front & rear for just over £500 all in. Price doesn't include fitting - doing them with a mate next month.

I know they aren't popular on here but I had them on both my Nissan 200SXs (S13 & S14A) and I think they're fantastic for the money. Will be a big improvement over standard and I never managed to fade them despite all my car's being auto's (ie little or no engine braking)

I'll let you know how they fare on the GT-A once fitted.

I believe Steviebee's got them on his 8 MR RS, and he's got 390 BHP

I've Godspeed 2 piece discs. They work well with DS 2500 pads and haven't warped at all. email [email protected]

got these too with cross drilled rears, ferodos seem to take a bit to warm up but when they do they are ace, very different feel to the gsr brakes though due to the lack of abs and a pump, carbotechs next

 

[staffi]

Anyone have any of the DBA range fitted, the 5000 series?? i was contemplating.........

 

[R1 GOOD]

I've a master cylinder brace and braided hoses as well and they make a big difference to pedal feel.There is no spongieness at all.

 

[dom_k]

my mate has dba discs fitted to his brembos on a twin tt supra with braided hoses, motul fluid and ? pads - he speaks very highly of them - massive improvement and if they stop that big lump im sure they will have no probs on an evo
