Where is the best place to get discs from , anyone know ?

 

[Fat Head]

i got mine from demon tweeks, EBC turbo groove discs, i paid £270 for them i think, they are good but a bit noisier than standard because of the grooves and drill holes

yeah id say they are pretty good, not amazing but pretty good, i only have redstuff pads on though, ill be trying ds2500 or whatever they are next time, only downside i believe is that the oem discs are floating discs, these aren't, but for what i use the car for i dont feel any difference if im honest

 

[ashr32oc]

What made you get them from there fat head . Look good to me

OEM spec ones from the dealers break the bank tho ?

Why not have a look at other brands and specs, im sure something is as good as factory for less than a lambo lol!

Use ECP and 25% discount code R32OC25

 

[cuprabob]

You can buy the 2 piece floating ones from ECP. They are manufactured by Zimmerman.

If you do a search there are quite a few threads on them.

IIRC, they are around £200 each but £150 each with the R32OC discound code.

i liked the look of them, i got them cheap compared to RRP, demon tweeks gave me £100 discount for a cock up they made on ebay, they were selling redstuff pads for £16 each so i bought all of them lol, they then said sorry its a mistake but we will offer you this this n this... so i was like.... errr okay

i cant fault them other than the noise but you can't really hear it unless you arent revving nd all windows are down, plus id heard good reviews of them

Excuse my stupidity but im new to the R32 format, what's a floating rotor disc?

Be gentle with the response lol

From brembo...

[background=rgb(239, 239, 239)]There are several reasons that a two-piece floating disc assembly is of benefit. First, by using an aluminum bell for the hub section of the disc saves a great deal of weight. Since this is both rotating and unsprung, it benefits the acceleration, braking, and handling of the vehicle. Secondly, it is better able to handle the large temperature changes that a brake disc experiences. During severe use, temperature variances become present in a one-piece disc and generally cause warping of the disc. This not only results in vibration of the vehicle, and pulsing of the brake pedal, but also pushes the pistons farther away from the disc. In a two-piece floating disc assembly, the iron disc heats up more uniformly, and the controlled float which is present allows for the differential expansion of the very hot brake disc, and the relatively cool aluminum bell. This allows the disc to be used under severe conditions without having a detrimental effect.[/background]

Well that sums it up for me in a nice little read! Im going to guess at the fact they are alot more money that solid discs.....

Thanks

I'm liking the response!

Think ill be the same when i get mine on the road too

Buy OEM ones or you'll be buying again in no time at all. In my opinion they are by far the best disc for the R and I'm sure others will agree.

As the saying goes.. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Its hard, really hard not to drive fast, it wants to be driven, but people cant stare at you if they only see you for 2 seconds as you zoom past, i guess thats the difference between people that love their cars and boy racers, but saying that i dont ever skimp out and go cheap on brakes/tyres, they are the ones that can save someones life one day, but i have heard of people saying their ebc discs warp, mine seem fine so far...
