daves16v 1 Posted July 27, 2009 £49 each :shock: Can anybody recommend anything just as good from GSF, ECP or anywhere else. I ain't paying those prices if I can help it. Thanks Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted July 27, 2009 brembos from GSF £60ish for the pair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 27, 2009 That's retail - did you ask for club discount? should be £33.50 + vat each. Brembo - they are ok but don't last like the VAG ones do or come with that coating on them. Try a TPS centre if you have one near Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Lol. I just ordered a set through a TPS account I have access to. Didn't ask about price, although the guy did suggest I should go non-gen. Think it's going to be >£500 total though. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 27, 2009 i am using the brembo ones from gsf and happy with them, they stop me ok and haven't disappeared yet? whats the coating all about? does that wear off straight away? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted July 27, 2009 It covers the bells and all the surfaces that are not swept. Makes them look tidier. The VAG disks are balanced too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 27, 2009 ahhh, thats something i understand now. my rear ones look crap, everything else is new, but its just certain parts of the disc are rusty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Well if you want to be a bit pikey, you could clean the disk up and spray it with VHT paint, trying not to paint too much of the swept area, although the pads will clean them back up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted July 27, 2009 I didn't ask about discount and he didn't mention it although he usually does give it. Yes there is aTPS branch in Notts, I'll give them a call. £60 for Brembo's seems ok but really wanted VAG. I'll see what TPS come back with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted July 28, 2009 While I'm on the subject of brakes, the VAG pads are equally expensive for the rear - recommend a decent set from GSF/ECP etc? Thanks again chaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Got the GSF Brembos + EBC Redstuff pads on the vRS- very impressed with the setup. The pads are the same compound as the Black Diamond fast road pads, but cheaper. Got them from Venom. The discs are superb- as mentioned above, various parts are painted so they don't rust + they have a wear indicator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Andy, to be honest it looks like I'll be going for cheaper discs rather than VAG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
