Hi I am looking to buy some new brake disks and pads, I am after a good set but after looking on demon tweeks the price for decent "well known" disks are pretty expensive, so I have found two other brands and I am wondering if anybody has had any good/bad experiences with them.
The one I am looking at due to their price is just called 'brake depot', you can get front and rear vented and grooved disks and EBC ultimax pads for £348 or £467 for yellowstuff pads. So I am just wondering if anybody has had any luck with these disks, I know the pads will be good quality because they are EBC the disks are the only worry. Also with the pads how good are ultimax pads? I won't be doing track days but I will be doing quite a bit of aggressive back road driving so will ultimax be up to the task or will yellowstuff be a better shout. Also if anybody knows of any better priced disks available or can talk me out of OEM vented and grooved disks that would be just as good *edit* it is for a celica gt4 st205 This post has been edited by rhodesyboy: Jun 11, 2016 - 12:31 PM |

No I mean more like one brand could say it's a fast road pad but then it could bite as strong as a circuit pad, so then you buy two different brands that both call their pads 'fast road' but one could act completely to the other, that's all good but in my eyes too risky to do unless you actually know with hard facts that one is right for the front and one is right for the rear and you don't end up with the rear biting more than the front.
Does that make more sense or am I just rambling on? |
