Apologies if this should go to the technical area, but I’m struggling to get hold of some brake discs… I have a standard brake system in my 1.8 mk2/NB, and wanted some drilled and grooved discs (EBC Turbo ones looked perfect) for the front, and standard EBC ventilated ones on the rear. Both seem to be out of stock everywhere I’ve tried. I need to get them done ASAP. Any ideas?
I’m assuming there is a larger supply issue at the moment, so it might be I just have to wait or buy some cheaper interim discs until they come in stock.
Try RockAuto; huge US aftermarket parts, have various track-type brakes from “Power Stop” (“Street Warrior”, “Track Day”). I’ve used them, they quote prices for UK delivery, including VAT etc, so supereasy, barely an inconvenience. You can get quick delivery, 2-3 days.
Check Racing Beat Europe as well; they tend to source from US suppliers, so might be less affected by whatever is going on with the UK suppliers.
Hi I was just wondering what discs you went for from rock auto - I have a 2006 2.0 launch edition and I’m looking at a few winter projects for the car and I can’t seem to find any discs and pads anywhere
I was looking at a bit of an upgrade (EBC grooved) is it worth doing this - it’s more of a job to keep me out of the boozer on a Friday/Saturday night in January (already got cobra mid section exhaust ordered and a set of Meister CRD Coilovers)
I guess it’s preferences, I found the standard discs and pads very good for just normal road use, excellent in fact. I fitted a Ferodo set to my last NC (front disc/pads) and a set of pads to the rear from carparts4less Eicher I think they were.
