Discs and pads

[ANTHONY]

i'm in the middle of changing my discs and pads the rear ones are done but i'm having a bit of bother with the front. i got new pads and discs to suit my car from the shop vir my vin mumber for a 2.0 sport, but it turns out that they dont fit. so i need pads for 2.5 v6.... looks like mitibushi changed the calipers on a sport./pan.............. i'v just had a thought if i need 2.5 v6 pads will i also need 2.5 v6 discs?/help

[ANTHONY]

all pads and disc's now done :2thumbsup ....but i did have a problem with the front disc's as well. it turns out that the discs are also bigger than they should be./Grrr so had to take off the old ones then order some more. now i have to return the ones that should have fitted./pan

Are these the Brembo discs mentioned in your 'garage write-up', any chance you could post part numbers so same mistake is not repeated as I think my current pads could be the last for my discs!!:anxious: :anxious:

the rear disc's where ok. part# 08.8316.010 but the front disc's part# 09.7043.10 where to small i had to get some other make but cannot remember the name, as brembo did not do the right size........ the rear EBC green stuff pads where ok part# DP2738 but had to get bigger front pads they should have been DP2830 but i had to get EBC green stuff DP21614. the motor factors informed me that between 2000/2003 there was a change over period and all sorts where fitted to the front ....hope this helps........also see kieran link ..http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7334

Thanks for the info, ABE//sport, Hope the new brakes settle in ok...

I have just had a sniff around t'internet and I think i am on top of this now..... post 2001 2.0 16v, and 2.4 GDI got brakes uprated to v6-24 size but true to form Mitsu gave it a different part no :rolleyes4

When i get my scribblings in some order I will add to / pass on to Isaac for his GLS Brake thread in the members section

PS do you know how many miles the discs you replaced had done?

Best bet is to phone Mitsy with your chassis number and ask them to confirm what size your discs are. Then get the pads to match. I had a similar problem with my V6-24 and that was a 1998 (S).

I've heard bad things about KAD and HiSpec and have been tolf to go to AP or Brembo for a brake upgrade. Not that i'm doing it anytime soon.

Anyone got first hand experience?

Have no complaints whatsoever about our KADS (other than the price, obviously) - they are fantastic brakes - on the road and especially on the track.

Have heard some very dodgy reports of HiSpec service - personally, I would have to go with the KADS - so whats the bad things you have heard about them :inquisiti


J :happy:

I have KADs, and although I had an issue when they supplied 30mm wide discs instead of 28mm ones once, they did replace my calipers for brand new ones at the time (had a hair line crack) under warranty and even got the powdercoated black FOC.........

More importantly they do the job.......especially on track :2thumbsup
