rovervi Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just wondering your guys opinions on what you have bought in the past, how they were, what they cost, where from, any links to any? Just interested as might change discs and pads soon to go on with my braided hoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Go with a set of stock discs, unless you are willing to spend 3 times as much on a set of 2 piece discs, which are a little lighter and offer slightly better braking. I use these Project Mu SCR-Pro discs on the front of mine Endless Racing Disc I use the TRD pads which are good for fast road use, I'm going to try the Endless pads when they need changing next time. If you want details/prices for pads let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 thanks Nic i have pm'd you. I am a bit of a 'driving miss daisy' so mega performance is not a worry i have bought some braided lines and dot 5.1 for a full flush which matched with new discs and pads shoudl do some decent stopping i just wanted something that maybe looked a bit 'fancier' for the front but if price is going to be that different then perhaps i shouldnt bother and i should stick to stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzthedentist Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i also use project mu scr pros and black diamon 1 piece rears. used to use trds and now use ebc yellows,reds are bloody awful, trds are better i reckon than the reds but not as good as the yellows when they warm up, but they do take time i also use black diamond braided lines and rbf600 motul fluid http://uzmanulhaq.info/caliperpaint.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Whats the benifit of a two piece disc over a single piece disc, when run using stock UK calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I use braid hoses, oem discs and CW fast road pads... fell pretty good so far, stop well, but I have not pushed the car much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ive been using DBA slotted discs, endless pads and braided lines with 5.1 fluid. They were perfect when new, but have warped a couple of times over the last few months. Only been used for fast road. Ive been looking at some others discs but dont know whether to splash out for a 2 piece disc. Would these be more resistant to warping?

uk-rich Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 2 piece disc's are less likley to warp, and are lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3upra Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 2 piece(floating) discs- "The advantage of this type of construction is reduced weight. By making the center-section of the disc out of aluminum, a great deal of weight can be saved in a key location, as it is both unsprung and rotating. The greatest advantage, however, lies in the float itself. The brake discs must cope with extreme temperature levels. In the case of a non-floating disc, thermal stresses develop which lead to warping of the disc and cupping of the braking surface. With the full floating system, the disc is free to grow relative to the bell, and can remain straight and true." Thats the theory anyway.
