197: Cambelt change and brakes

[Carl_1290]

Hi everyone,

When does a cambelt change normally happen?

Also how long do front and rear discs and pads last for and which ones do you go for?

Ive seen disc and pad sets range from £50 all way upto £250, ive always liked the drilled and grooved look

Thanks Carl

Disk and pads your choice I personally stick to what it came with

OEM pads and discs have never let me down on road or track yet. As such I haven't tried anything else...

They should last you a good couple of years, but it depends a lot on how (road/track) and how often you drive as well as you're own driving style.

Just normal use is what id say, id be rarely on track but would possibly get myself on twice a year if i could. Anyways i will change when needs must like ive done on my other cars always allow a slight lip on disc and never let pads wear down fully as can cause damaged discs

I'd say just go for the OEM Brembo ones then mate, they'll be fine.
