The world's biggest knobhead

... is me.

Firstly I ordered a front caliper seal kit when I meant to order a rear one.

Secondly I ordered some rear disks from Nextdaybrakes however they are the wrong size (240mm not 300mm(they did appear when I entered my reg though)).

Finally I ordered a single Pagid front brake disk when I thought I was getting two (why would anyone pay £81 for two Pagid disks when you can get two Brembos for £86?!?!).

Thankfully I can send everything back but I've lost out on all the postage!

I LOL'd.

Well they sad bad luck comes in threes so that should be you then. Its a total pain returning things, esp heavy items like brake disks, costs a fortune.

 

[deadmau5]

Yeah I know, tell me about it!

Does anyone know where I can buy rear disks from (apart from k-tec)?

 

[Chrisgti6]

eBay? Or there is a guy over on CS.net that supplies brembo disc's and pads etc.

 

[deadmau5]

Nothing on eBay really. Next day brakes have agreed to collect them free of charge which is nice of them. They don't supply the rear discs for the 197/200 even though they appear to be an official Brembo reseller.

Maybe because the rears aren't Brembo mate.

i bought pagid rear discs and pads as it was easier for me,the garage that did the work uses them a lot so just went with it,they were the the same price as OEM discs at the time,£104 each iirc

karl might be able to knock a few quid off standard ones though

I couldn't find any Pagid ones.

SteC is going to sort me out anyway

Pagid are a good brand. Would class them the same as Brembo tbh.

 

[Giles]

rear disc is Brembo but not the rear caliper

 

[deadmau5]

Rear disc is apparently TRW.

 

[Giles]

But it said Brembo on my rear disc.

 

[deadmau5]

Interesting. In that case the disk may very well be Brembo!
