Rear Brakes

Post by vanzep » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:57 am

i would love to have one of the lockups at the top of my street but rent would be ridiculous - one of them went up for sale a few years ago they were asking for offers over £30k :shock:

one another note i finally got round to fixing the rear brakes - i had planned to do them and kept an eye out for some disks and pads at a reasonable price.
got these Herth&Buss discs and Eicher pads - never used either of these brands before before but quality is good and they seem to work as good as OEM. I like the rear discs that are coated as they dont rust up as much ;)

unfortunately after fitting the discs and pads and resetting the handbrake the passenger side rear caliper decided to bind a bit so had to fit a new caliper :cry: @newkid got a refurbed one for me from a local factor at a pretty good price £60 and the discs only cost me £11.54 for the pair and the pads were £10.90 so not too heavy a hit :)
brakes are spot on and the handbrake is set perfectly - this makes me happy!

cheers dudes :)

hardest decision so far has been NOT to lower it - got the konis built up ready to fit but decided to keep it OEM :oops:
