I am needing to get new discs and pads for my 8. Currently there is DBA equipment on there which was put on by the previous owner but they have since developed a vibration. They had also been skimmed by the previous owner. I have been looking around for the best option to replace. I was wondering what other are running to try and get an idea of the way to go.

Thanks

Hey William. I Have been looking for a few days at the Monkfish and Walkinshaw stuff. The DBA that's on mine have come from Monkfish and fitted by them too. Have seen the HSV gear from Walkinshaw also.

Kevin has the car just now to get the paint work done and try to help with the brakes as they were pretty terrible. They were only fitted in August last year then skimmed in January but still awful to use..

Anything I do get wil be getting fitted by Kev. That's the best recommendation for stuff up north of the border.

They’ve been heated up and get a fair use but it was really bad when I dropped it off to get paint work done a few weeks ago. Kev has cleaned the hubs, as they were very dirty, and put the gear back on. Its not as bad but will find out tomorrow when i pick her back up. I am looking at the big brake upgrade from Walkinshaw but think I would need to change the caliper colour. LOL

Thanks for all the help as usual
