Bobbeh Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm getting mixed feedback from various sources, Toyota have said for the last 12 months they need replacing, all of them because they're ligged and corroded, and I've been told by another mechanic they're fine as most of the corrosion is around the outside, and not actually on the surface of the disk. I mean they've held up fine and got me round the 'Ring ok. Although during the winter they seem to be looking a little worse for wear.. what do you think?

Chiefgroover Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Bob DBA golds are super for the ring, especially with endless CCX pads. Stops on a plate!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 They look better than my discs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 If there is a significant lip to the edge of them then they require replacing....if not no worries. The last pic has marks on it like you've had some cailper seizing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I can't say as I have only ever used stock discs/pads and then moved to CW Fast Road pads on new stock discs. I see that Tel runs with what looks like dba gold but, not sure what pad he is using ? Tel ? (I'm sure I remember him saying that he has been through most combo's with his old purple car. And his black car is not slow so, the dba's & ?? pads must be a good combo) From Bovingdon 05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Bob, It can't be your handbrake causing those marks, as the handbrake is inside the disc! It's got to be the rear caliper sticking slightly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How deep is the 'lip'? Why don't you just measure the thickness and compare it to the spec for minimum thickness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 What, the width of the disc? And what is minumum thickness , do you have any details.. or should I hopefully consult the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 thickness, yeah. Minimum: front: 28.0mm rear: 15.0mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
