away to change the brembo brakes on my subaru so disks and pads, wheres the best place to get them and the cheapest?

 

Where you from ??
Its not a hard job any car mechanic would be able to it. Don't go to a Subaru dealer tho as there prices are just ridiculous.

 

aberdeen but was gonna get them online i have a friend that a mechanic so was gonna ask him to do it was was just gonna buy them online and was looking at a few

 

Forgot to ask If you have the parts already ? If not there's a few dealers on here who can offer you good deals on standard or uprated.

 

i already have brembo brakes on the car but just needing replaced now so wondered wheres the place to purchace new ones

 

easy to do youself

speak to ian godney at godspeed he does some very good prices for discs and pads.

 

Try Ian @ Godspeed brakes. He's a good guy and has some really good prices too.

 

What about BOB;s cant remember the company name but hes in the trader section.

 

as above, Ian/Godspeed for the discs and if you want to keep normal brembo pads give ebay a try.
i picked mine up for a very good price ages ago and even the BIN prices are about half a subaru dealer price

 

i was looking at £751 from our local car parts place for front and back disks and pads

 

Yes that sounds about right for the dealer lol

I can supply you grooved front and rear discs , and our kevlar front and rear pads for £285 !
Available for next day delivery

Cheers Ian

i got 4 discs drilled proper brembos for 480 pound from.. alan asp in birtley ne, brand new in the boxes , lol k .

 

i'd stay away from drilled discs and just go for groved.

safer option.

 

whats safer about them?

 

HI
When you drill a disc , you drill through the grain structure which weakens them , they can then end up cracking around the holes , which would end up cracking across the disc going from hole to hole.

Car's that have drilled discs as standard , like Porsche's ect , have the discs cast with the holes already in them , then machine finish them , this way the grain structure follows the shape of the holes making them much stronger , but even they , with track abuse , can still crack , all the discs you see on ebay , and from sellers on here , all have the discs drilled from plain blanks.

I make discs here , so know the in's and out's of everything you need to know about brakes , we have a full CNC machine shop , we are not just box movers.

Cheers Ian

 

Putting grooves into discs also weakens the structure

For normal to fast road use, with something like a mild kevlar pad, drilled discs pose no problem and the pad will likely exceed it's capabilities before the discs do.

We have in stock grooved, drilled and grooved, plain OEM spec, 1 piece and 2 piece

Drilled and grooved look rather smart:

But so do these:

Sometimes, standard discs and pads suit customers just fine too.

So many options your head is probably spinning

I have 18 years experience in making performance discs , in that time I have never seen a disc crack because it was grooved , but have seen loads cracked because they were drilled, by grooving a disc you will not weaken it , but you will weaken it by drilling right through it.

A grooved only disc is more reliable for a road car

Cheers Ian
