A good few years ago, i had the mk2 brake caliper conversion done on my mk1 gt3 along with the brembo floating discs. I'm not sure if its just middle age but i think the rattles are getting louder. Had the car serviced recently and the discs and pads are fine.
Is there a cure for the increasingly rattly discs or do they all go this way. I thought maybe renew the fixing kit/bobbins? Is this easy to do/cheap?

Cheers

The bells, bobbins and bolts are lifed parts, wear out, and probably need changing. Luckily, they are the cheapest items, as most of the cost is in the disc. They are easy to change, you'll just need a torque wrench to torque the bell bolts to the correct torque.

the bobbins and the bells wear out it's them telling you to get them changed.....don't do it on the cheap it's not a Daewoo Matiz your running there....I certainly wouldn't want to cheap out on the only items that stop you from killing yourself or someone else or the very least smashing your pride and joy....the latest Brembo Floating Discs come with the anti rattle shims they're about £1400 all in for the Fronts.....just one other point....unless you do a fair amount of track work there's not much point in having Full Floating Discs I'd just go with the OEM fixed discs a lot quieter and "Cheaper"
