Cheap 4G Brembo discs on Ebay

Post by Merlin » Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:51 am

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to buy new brake discs. You can get a pair of front brembo discs on ebay for £48 delivered. This is half the price of EBC and Mentex discs. I go through discs at quite a rate so im going to give these cheaper alternatives a try, being Brembo they should be good quality. Vanzep bought these a while ago.

Yeah I remember someone pointing these out. Let me know what they're like. I've actually just replaced my discs with some grooved ones from some place, so won't need any for a while.

They seem to be, the part numbers match, and as said another member bought these recently.

They are being sold by this company: http://www.azcarparts.co.uk/

I just got round to fitting the brembos on the front on Saturday - braking performance is much improved & no shudder or squealing. Think i paid £60 delivered so £48 is a ridiculously low price.
Merlin - ive still got whats left of the front refurb kit (big red) if you need any parts - will stick it in a bag along with the slider pin and bolt - so you can pick them up tomorrow.

woops - should have given you that kit back sooner - there are 4 slider boots still in there as i just needed the piston boots.
maybe you can return the new kit you have or maybe someone on here will buy it off ya.
