Hi all,
Hope everyone is good.
I am in the need of replacing the front disks and pads on my DC5. I bought the car back in 2012 and have never needed to replace them untill now...
I am led to believe that the car has BIOT 2 piece disks and ferodo ds2500 pads used with the standard brembo calipers. Although the pads are an easy find to match the standard calipers, I am struggling to find the replacement disk element of the 2 piece setup. The people ones in the link are similar to what we have but they don't stock a size for the DC5:- https://www.nengun.com/biot/brake-rotor-2-piece
The overal disks comprise of a main center bell and an outer disk and I believe the outer disk can just be replaced; apparently saving cost. However, I am struggling to find a replacement outer disk?
I have been in contact with Reyland.co.uk who manufacture the disk elements without any reply, but surely there should be an off-the-shelf option? Manufacturing custom disks to marry up to my BIOT bells if surely going to be more expensive than just replacing the whole 2-peice disk setup?
Has anyone else had issues with replacing the disk element of 2-peice disks or have any pointers on what we can do? I don't want to go down the route of a single heavy front disk as the 2 piece are significantly lighter.
Cheers,
Carl.
