Marsdendean Have you been given a quote for separate items Steve, as i was looking at different brakes ie drilled and grooved and was trying to see how much more expensive they are compared to OEM and mintex pads

Not for the labour etc, no. But I have prices for all the parts that I've supplied myself (which is most of them), I'm keeping track of all of that in a spreadsheet.

I paid £81.18 for a full set of Predator pads (front and rear), and £443.01 for a full set of discs from Black Diamond (who make the Predator pads as well). I got them from Motorsport World.

Cheap discs are a false economy. Especially when you're talking about drilled ones - most of the ones on eBay for example are stock discs which have been drilled which weakens them and they crack up under hard breaking.

I've warped cheap rear discs on my car which doesn't have uprated brakes in any way shape or form! Think my discs were about £100 each.

Agreed, you need to be very careful about buying drilled discs, it's easy for anyone with a drill to put some holes in any old brake discs and sell them on eBay.

Marsdendean I meant compared to standard OEM ones.

I would never buy cheap disks from ebay, i might aswell get some OEM ones, a 6MM steal drill bit and a grinder and do the job myself!

How do you know the discs won't end up cracking because you've weakened them by drilling them ?

Marsdendean Im just saying if i buy cheap disks, i could do them myself!!! Are OEM disks around £100 a pair?

Nooo, don't try it yourself ! Too risky, especially with something like brakes.

Didn't Steve and me both just say that getting normal discs drilled was a really bad idea?

Thanks :biggrin:. Just using a new OEM head gasket, it's a metal one so should be perfectly up to the job. Yep, e-Manage Ultimate.
