sidewaysbad Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi all, I need pointing in the direction of some decent brake pads for my j-spec supra. Any suggestions? The bank balance's not quite up for a conversion just yet! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul -C- Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Chris Wilson pads are highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I have them on my jspec too and they are quite nice. I little bit loud when cold but after a few meters very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_maj Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Which pads are you gonna go for? I need some new front pads on my JSPEC TT as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 And me, maybe CW could do us a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 for a bulk order of three sets of pads? Don't hold your breath! You probably qualify for both of Chris' special offers : Buy One, Get None Free. Buy Now, Pay Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I will do a deal for 4 sets or more. I will ALWAYS do a deal, it's in my blood along with the beer. And my dogs are cuties. well, some of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I may be in on this if it helps the cause. How much CW? I'll need shipping included to a U.S. APO address. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Chris, as you know i bought some Jap ones but then found out i need UK ones.

Chris Wilson Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 UK fast road pads and J-Spec fast road pads in stock, I bought too many, long story, my mistake. Until stocks are lowered I will sell in batches of a minimum of 4 car sets of UK spec at 140 a set and J-Spec at 120 a set. I will not split sets, and all sets of 4 must ship to one UK address. These prices are just over cost, I will hold them until I am down to a reasonable number of pads once again! Carriage will be 10 pounds per box of 4 car sets for both types. Race compound pads are 260 and 280 a set, for J-Spec and UK spec respectively, carriage is the same. If anyone wants to order please ONLY do so by direct e-mail, i can't collate stuff by PM or posts here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I'm up for a spare full set of UK fast road at such a bargain price These are what I use at the moment and they are brill. No squeal, even without any anti-squeal shims in, and they stop well and wear well -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 As a guide I think I have about 30 / 35 sets of each type of pad (UK and J-Spec) in stock. I also have several pairs of OE quality TUV approved rear J-Spec discs and one front pair of J-Spec discs, brand new. I can probably do a good deal on these too, but won't be able to undercut the real cheapo stuff from Taiwan or Brake Engineering. You get what you pay for with pads and discs.

tbourner Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I need new j-spec rear pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 ....I will sell in batches of a minimum of 4 car sets of UK spec at 140 a set and J-Spec at 120 a set. I will not split sets, and all sets of 4 must ship to one UK address. I'm confused (again). Why would anyone want 16 pads!!! Or do you mean a set of 4 pads i.e.: 1 car set? Simplify this to 'less than layman' terms for me, cos I'm really a monkey of some kind!! Can I give you £130 and get 2 front and 2 rear j-spec pads delivered to my front door?

Chris Wilson Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 They don't go off, no, they aren't a brace of pheasants lad.... I DO NOT recommend anyone fits these fast road pads as single sets to either JUST the front or JUST the rear, as brake balance will be compromised, and as i said before, i won't split sets at these prices.

What I am saying is I will sell at 130 for a set of front AND rear pads *IF* someone gets it organized to buy 4 car sets at once, and they ship to one address in one box. A mini "group buy". If someone wants just enough pads for their own car then they have to pay the higher price. It's easier for me to box and send 4 sets to one address and handle one payment, and that's reflected in the discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ah, cool. Better get someone to organise the distribution then. Who wants them and in what area of the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 What about nominating someone to come and pick them up and everyone sends their cheques to him, and he pays me a single payment? That would save P&P altogether, I don't mind providing a (used) box FOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
