Hi Guys

 

Thought i would let you know about the bargain brakes i Bought of ebay

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-MINTEX-XTREME_W0QQitemZ200138558124QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

 

Have had em fitted for a few weeks now and feel they have bedded in enough to review.

 

Discs : Quality of castings are very good and overall quality is very good, 40 grooves are not too noisy.

 

Pads : Mintex extreme , took a while to bed in and took a medium cooking to get the best out of them, once that was done are performing very well

 

Testing has involved a few 150mph to 0 stops on a private test track and have worked admirably, havnt track tested them but for road use have performed above expectations after the pads bedded in.

 

HTH

I bought these, not fitted yet but good to hear they were worth the money!

Awesome! Will have to think about a set of them.

 

Or maybe I should buy another Zed to put them on first????

the pads do take a while to bed though, on my first real push of the pedal i thought the pads were shite but have got better with heatings

Cool, how do they compare to your ferrado set up ?

the pads lack the feel and the bite of ferrodo , especially at the limit of the brakes capabilities when hot, but they do the job

are they just the same size as the standard brakes?

yes

I have a seond hand set of Brembo discs that I am trying to shift at the moment. PM me if you are interested.

 

Sorry for the hijack Retro...
