Phew ! Brake discs.

Am in search for some brake discs. Went on ebay and saw these Brembo grooved discs at a worry price. Read the listing very carefully and saw this :

"NOTE - DISCS ARE ORIGINAL BREMBO DISCS

THE PERFORMANCE TOUCH IS TAILORED BY OUR APPROVED ENGINEERING WORKSHOP"

..... nice.

Personally , I'm thinking of going with Blackdiamond grooved discs again with EBC redstuff pads. Had the black diamonds on for something like 35k and they've done a pretty good job!

I have the drilled version on my 850, They are Fantastic, what are you waiting for????

I bought non genuine discs all round from my E46 from them, and after a whole host of problems with untoward noises, squeeling and clunking I binned the lot.

Im not actually sure now.

Grooved black diamonds - 365.
standard discs - 160 ish

Redstuff - 110 ish
standard - 80ish.

What would you guys choose.

Anyone got any idea how long it will take to , replace 4 discs and pads, flush / refill brake fluid, fit steel brake lines?

[TheEnd]

at a guess 2-3 hours, prob quicker if you put your mind to it

[4nonymous]

Is it a long job for the steel hoses?

( thanks for the nippy reply )

shouldn't be, as long as the unions unscrew, which i guess should be OK on a 330.
mine had 2 or 3 totally seized and i needed to cut off and reflare the pipe on the car..
horrible job, but in fairness, i've never come across any other seized ones.
when you are changing the discs, they are right there next to you, prob a max of 5 mins each, and then a bleed through to fill them up with fluid.
