ian332isport Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Those are worse than the ones I just binned. Those are only good for the skip. I got a PAIR of genuine BMW discs from bmminiparts for £65 + VAT. http://www.bmminiparts.com/PartDetails.aspx?InventoryId=6727FCEB-FFD9-48A7-8878-CFCA24803EB0 Ian.

DJ Syxx Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Agree with everyone, spend the money get new ones and be safe in knowing you won't have to change them for a long time. Looking at those brake discs I wouldn't re use them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 They'd probably be perfectly serviceable if you lived in Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimzimmer46 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Could use paper plates as they'll do a better job than them rusty old things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJames Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm getting new ones, but what it comes down to is plain brembo or fancy 'mtec' Obviously brembo is the bigger man out of the two but I quite like the idea of seeing grooved/drilled discs snuggled in my MV2s!

the sim Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 mtecs are alright, they do a few fancy patterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimzimmer46 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Mtec discs come in gloss black also but I wonder how long they would actually last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJames Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Right, quick question How do I asses wether I need new pads or not? The story goes, I bought some 330d front brakes, the discs were f**ked but the pads have loads of life on them and seem good condition New pads are another £40. How do I tell if they need replacing?
