New Front Brake Discs

[P38Aaron]

Just had my new brake discs fitted.

Pads are currently bedding in so not had a chance to check out the stopping power quite yet, but already at this early stage I can feel they have a nice bite.

Discs are 3G - Prolex

New pads are Mintex Xtreme - Prolex

As the pads bed in, I will report back.

Hopefully these discs will not "warp" as I have got through discs on this car.

Thanks to Dave at Prolex for sorting this out for me :)

From what I have read the brakes are easy to fit...basing on previous experience i didnt wanna mess it up...I got my local garage to do it for me along with new handbreak cables and handbreak pads.

Hi all

Brakes have been on a while now, so i would say there very 'bed-in', im very happy with there performance, they perform better when warm due to the pad compound (atleast i put it down to that) quiet and smooth breaking, still the wrong type of weather to really see what there up to...

Thanks Dave :D

I'm looking at getting a set in a couple of weeks, just out of interest did you get new brakes all round or just front?

[P38Aaron]

Sorry for the slow reply,

Fronts are Prolex Groove and Dimples Rears are just Grooves.

[VVProtocolVV]

Was there any reason why u only got grooved ones for the rear, whereas you got grooved and dimples for the front? Although i understand that the dimples are really just for looks rather than performance..

[sparkystav]

Its to aid cooling, lets the heat escape quicker,

reason rears are different is because I had groove only front and rear, then changed the fronts, at some point the rears may change to be the same.

why did u have to get the handbrake cable replaced - was it worn?
