Default Brakes!!

Was all set to order this set-up, then found the same kit I think on another site, so are they the same?

Are they both the same discs and pads then? If no which is better? I'm looking at getting new pads and discs and was all for the Godspeed ones but I'm confused again now?

The pads are same, the drilled discs is generally a no for driving hard as they can crack over time, but I doubt they would crack with them pads, as they would fade before getting upto disc cracking temps

1st rule is, spend cheap on a performance car?

As usual busta is wrong lol.

No they are not the same pads , we did try the pads Aztec are selling as they are lot cheaper to buy in , and although we found they were ok , we didn't think they were as good as the Kevlar pads we have been selling for over 10 years.

The Kevlar pads we sell are made in Germany , and are a good quality performing pad for there intended use , normal day to day driving with some spirited driving now and again , they are not suitable for track days.

Cheers Ian

Ian, Thanks for the reply.

What would you recommend if I was to do one or two track days a year and use as a road car as well. ( Daily Driver )

Thanks

Hehe, how's it going ma brudder?

How do you know this? Have you purchased bobs pads recently to compare?
When they both say Kevlar pads they advertise as same item, why not list yours as a 'German Kevlar' pad then instead of telling people all the time.
Would be a lot easier and sway folk towards yours

We find our pads better than the "German" pads based on customer feedback.

Kevlar pads talk not relevant to the thread though if OP wants track use as neither will cut it.

Fit PF discs with PF pads and be done with it. Not the cheapest option out there, but an option that works and pays off long term. Gotta pay to play

That's the thing with the PF discs, they last and last. When they eventually need changing it's not very expensive as you just change the rotors.

Simply find out the manufacturers of the two discs and compare from there.

I personally run Brembo Sports discs.

Heard good things about DBA and PF

I run Brembo Discs and Mintex M1155 pads. Bloody awesome they are too.

I made the mistake of "cheap" brakes through various companies. Cheap is cheap for a reason, considering the importance of brakes... I'd rather spend a little more. AS performance will hook you up mate.

I'm running the Godspeed grooved discs and Kevlar pads on mine. Can't fault then for road use.

Way superior to the OEM items.

Il throw our discs into the mix

They are excellent high quality discs hence them been more expensive, we used to buy in Apec discs and groove them ourselves and while we made more money on those we choose to offer a high end discs which are built to spec for performance not a standard discs that's been grooved.We make less money on the higher end discs but as brakes are important
