THE BEST BRAKE DISCS/PADS YOU CAN BUY FOR YOUR TEG ARE (imo)

[Ricerocketdc5]

My brakes squeal sometimes without braking! I have standard pads and discs .There is plenty left on the pads. What is causing this?

Thanks Paul, very informative

I have just fitted Paul's brakes and they are superb words can not describe how well they work. I only get bit of a squeak when its really cold like it has been the last week, when the brakes are up to working temp they don't make a sound. I also used the cera-tec grease.

About time you got them fitted Kris!! :lol:

Glad you like them - just mind yr head on the windscreen :wink:

You'll soon get used to the extra stopping power (plus it's nearly that Track day time of yr again.....).

looks like business is good mate

Good news only gone up 4%

Current 08' prices:

Discs £536.70
Pads £134.49 - Mintex 1144's (Less a 20% discount with discs)
Carriage £22.56 - This inc ins cover..

Thks

Paul.

Sorry, just to clarify - Yes they are total prices that already inc the VAT & the Mintex pads with the discount = £107.60.

Eg: 536.70 + 107.60 + 22.56 = £666.86 Total price...Not cheap, but you get what you pay for


I can also supply Mintex 1155 pads for the same price as the 1144's (people use 1155's on the road as well, BUT Mintex say there not for highway use)...

I now supply a 75ml tube of Cera Tec ..FOC

P & P to Ireland costs £27.56 Inc ins.

Some more sets due in about a week's time...One set already sold

Thks

Paul.

Thinking of getting a set of these soon (soon being when i have enough money) Been reading some brake threads and some say you should change the rears to keep it balanced? :? Is this correct.
Cheers

No - The rear brakes on the DC5 are just right with the new frts, some people do put a slight upgade pad in the rear (but not much more than the OEM pads + 10% max).

[Allen]

Cheers for that, also do you do stainless hoses?

 

[Paul G]

To save me sending lot's of PM's - can i apologize here for the delay of new stock, there has been a delay with production at AP

Thks

Paul.

 

[Paul G]

Now have them in stock again.

But the bad news is..........The price has gone up AGAIN Long story & will post up about it - when i get a min!

Cost is now £578.10+vat a pair :shock:

Still cheaper than about 2K for a replacement disc & caliper set up, but not cheap :roll:

Paul.

 

[MilanoChris]

Bloody hell! :shock:

Still awesome for the price IMO. How much for just the disc minus bells?

Tested Paul G's breaks on the track

Mondello is a tight track with lots of nice corners to put any breaks to the test, I took it handy for the first session as the breaks were new and hardly used and they felt quite soft as they were not bedded in.
I waited for about 30min and went back out on the second session. I noticed a much better bite from the breaks so I hit them hard coming into a fast corner and I nearly slid of the seat, the bite was unreal, very quickly I learned I could break much later than I could on the old discs which was great as I could overtake just about any car in front of me as their breaking point was much earlier then mine. Also I was amazed just how much break pad was left at the end of the day, much more than I normally would. I’m getting little or no break squeal now.
Over all I’m hugely impressed, it feels like I have had the breaks completely upgraded and by the look of the discs and pads after the trackday they should last quite a while. Worth the extra cost in my book.

 

[Paul G]

Glad you like them

It's on track were they show what they can realy do!!

With the prices as they are now, it's DC5 track day fans that will feel they are worth the money - It terms of improvements to get yr lap times down (if you were timing them, that is !!) they still work out cheaper than trying to find the equivalent BHP & more reliable

Or anyone who wants the ultimate replacement brake discs.... :wink:

Paul.

White line 24mm rear A/roll bar FOC...

If anyone wt's a set of the 2 piece discs & pads, i have a White line rear bar they can have wt them FOC!! (Nice T.day upgrade)

I used the bar for 1 test day at Donnington....But then had a change of plans, so bar is as new.

Paul.

 

[MilanoChris]

Pics?

 

[tron2k3]

are they easy to fit?

 

[Paul G]

Pic's :roll: :lol: Looks like the OEM one but is silver & 24mm not 22mm..Like new and still in the box. (can take pics if needed) :wink:

Rear bar is very easy to fit, take you about half an hour (Frt bar is NOT easy to fit - as i found out :| )

From Memory: 12mm socket, 13mm spanner, 5mm A.key.....

Thks

Paul.
