disks & pads advice
Discussion
I going to have to replace my front disks & pads on my mk2 GT3. I'll be doing the work myself, so if anyone can recomend a good source for the parts at a more reasonable price than the opc. Any help would be appreciated....
I'm also looking around for a set of sports silencers, so if anyone has a set gathering dust or making their ears bleed let me know!

There's only two real alternatives to OPC discs and that is buy a set of Alcons from JZMachtech or Brembo's from Parr. Either will last much much longer than the OPC items and because they are a floating disc design will stop you quicker as well(At least it feels that way). They also look about 100% better if that sort of thing floats your boat. Initial outlay for discs/hats will be around the same as for a set of OPC discs. When worn out, the hats are re-used and the discs cost c £550 a pair. Therefore far more cost effective longer term solution than OPC discs.
For pads use Pagids, try Performance Braking of Monmouth 01600 713117. If you want them for trackday use then go for Yellow RS29's, but be warned they are not cheap. You should ask them for other types of pad if you don't want them for track use, blues or greys perhaps(these are also not quite as dear.) Also look at www.rennstore.com. Great value for money if you can avoid paying import duty and VAT.
Sorry cannot help on the silencers
