The zeds been stood up for nearly 2 years and the breaks are worse for wear now so need replacement.

 

So what's the best for under or around the £200 mark ?

 

Any recommendations ?

Under £200? Full calliper rebuild and disc re-skim with some new pads. You're not going to get a huge amount more than that.

ok,

 

what would oem discs and pads cost ?

OEM would be more expensive. Brand new ones would be over £200 I think. Good pads are £50 at least. Rear discs are somewhere in the region of £120 a set and the fronts I think about the same.

 

There are aftermarket ones on ebay for less though....you probably could do it all for about £200 at a real push. Rebuild kit is about £70 and that would make the biggest difference providing your current discs were not shot.

 

Rebuilding the calipers is pretty easy, although stock callipers have this crappy metal spring retainer for the dust boot which can ping off.

Cheers,

 

I think I could stretch to £300 if must.

Have a look at ebay, brembo discs and pads available for the zed for very reasonable money. OEM brake pads, probably not worth the premium. You wouldn't use the oem spec tyre if you could find it, these kind of things have cone on a long way in the past 25 years. I actually had some cheap pads from camberly auto factors in mine since I brought it. I needed new pads for it's first mot and my brakes have always been good so I had no reason to change them. Mintex are quite popular i believe.

I use mintex pads on mine they perform well enough and they are not expensive either.

That looks like a good deal.

Get it bought!
