Delphi Lockheed Brake Discs

[Sankar]

Hey Guys,

I want to change my IS300 front break discs & pads. Lexus gargage charging me some good amount of money, hence decided to take it to local garage. This guy insists Delphi Lockheed Break discs are better than Mintexs'. have any one of you tried this brand before?

My mechanic fits Delphi brake pads to all his customers cars and his own. He rates them very highly and has never had a comeback with them which is why he likes them, just happy customers. I plan on trying them in my BMW too when the EBC pads I have need replacing.

I'm sure it will be a similar story with the discs. :)

Out of interest, how much were you quoted by the Lexus dealer? Presumably Lexus Croydon?

How about blueprint/adl discs and pads? I've heard that used together they make a good combination and are the closest to oem?

[TheDon]

blueprint are also excellent and a great price.. could do the whole front end for about £100..

Excuse my ignorance but doesn't "blueprint" just mean they're copies ?

So one blueprint set could be totally different from another ? Or have I misunderstood ? :duh:

blue print parts are excellent and extend across a large range, from brakes to filters to cabin filters and pumps.. they do the lot.. i think they do belts too.

A lot of the time the parts will probably be sourced from the same places lexus do.. or exceptionaly good copies..

the brake pad feel is very good also with them as well as not too much brake dust..
