Brakes

[Steve BCV8]

G'day guys, extremely long time since my last post (unfortunately I received a virus from PH and killed my laptop!!)
So decided to give it a go again.
Where are you guys buying your brake discs from?
I have a 2006 VZ CV8 and in need of a set of rear discs and pads.
Any help greatly appreciated.

For me it would be pedders uk , there are Aussi options but I expect quite expensive in cost shipping and tax , the other option is your car is covered is Mtec , and possibly rock auto but is the us spec the same as the uk spec

If you want a slight improvement over stock then get in touch with Pedders UK. You could also try Walkinshaw Performance, they should do standard parts.
If you’re feeling flush…….AP’s are nice, but make sure you are sitting down with a stiff brandy and your therapist on speed dial.
Either way get low dust ceramic brake pads, they don’t stick to brake discs if you leave your car standing for any time.

Thanks Guys,
Pedders as always have exceptional customer service. They have OE DBA rear discs in stock.
I was given a set of unused DBA front discs from a Forum member a few years back so I was looking for the same for the rear.
As the car is totally standard and as I personally feel the DBA discs don't cause any issues with my style of driving I went with OE.
Hopefully have them soon and get around to fitting them ready for M.O.T time.

I contacted Walkinshaw's too but not holding my breath for a reply, this will be my third attempt and the previous two queries regarding other car related parts
went unanswered?

DBA discs will be absolutely fine, the factory spec pads on the other hand ( if you can still get them? ) are not.
Pedders brake pads are good, and their ceramic low dust pads are even better.

It’s nothing personal with Walkinshaw, for some reason that’s how they operate!

I decided to go with EBC Yellowstuff pads all round. I think these should suit.

Did you call and speak to Dave? I've e-mailed before and got no response, I've called and talked to Dave and had no problems!

I used the enquiry form, I don't remember seeing a phone number?
Not to worry as I'm sorted now.

Walkinshaw have a phone number on their website under contacts,call that and press the number for parts.
