Wayne put me down for a rear non brembo set. May have front set as well

Done

[TAR]

Thats good prices.

I'd be interested depending on how soon the order needs to be placed. I'm skint at the moment!!

[Gowf]

I will say that Concentua are a decent company. I got the turbo for my liner from them. Prompt and really helpful....Dont need discs at the moment though

[White Lightning]

Thats good prices.

I'd be interested depending on how soon the order needs to be placed. I'm skint at the moment!!

Yes, I thought the prices were good

I am not sure when the order would be placed just at the moment. I was going to let this thread run for a week or so first, see how much interest we get and then take it from there.

[peter thomson]

Yes best price I could find for the rear discs was £131 + postage and around £190ish for the fronts. I've been looking for a few weeks at various prices so this has come up at the right time if more people join in.

[rees]

but what about these disks? not tryina piss on anyones fire but i was on about buyin these untill i heard a few club memebers have had them crack on them??

[peter thomson]

I've had EBC discs on the front since I had my VR4 with no problems. Just sticking calipers which had nothing to do with the discs. I think any make of disc has the potenial to crack rather than it being an EBC problem

[Spirit]

I have the rears on mine with Brembo calipers and never had any issues

Nice 1 Pete

Never knew you had Brembo's on the rear

I think you did - you can probably tell that I got them from a certain reliable source from the Peterborough area

Rees - I have been running the EBC turbo groove discs and EBC red stuff pads (with Super Blue fluid) on mine for ages now. They have been used at the Nurburgring, Spa and Castle Combe and have also done about 8k miles since fitting this setup. And as you have seen, I don't hang about on track. I am on my third (or fourth) set of pads but still the original discs and I have got no sign of cracking. Remember that these discs are grooved and dimpled (not drilled). It used to be drilled discs that could suffer cracking - I had that happen on my Rover 620ti when I had cross drilled Black Diamond discs fitted.

I have used EBC Discs for the last 4 years All the discs i have had have cracked in multiple places all the way through and on both inner and outer faces.. Also they have looked like crazy paving with surface marbling all over them...

But they have never faded or let me down.. Apart from the Yellowstuff Pads Which lasted a Tad over 70miles Or basically a couple of weeks around town, a litte drive to the Nurburgring and nearly 17 laps on the Ring.. Then it was Meal on Metal

These are supposed to be Endurance Pads

Red Stuff Ceramic Pads never le me down matched with Turbo Groove Discs..

My last set of pads were EBC Blue Stuff's ... They are not alot of cop from cold, but then my pads were never cold for very long.. But they just get better and better th harder you push them

For most people i would say they are best left as a trackday pad

Unless u live somewhere that has a race track around it Like Peterborough

On the rears, i wouldn't bother with anything more than Green Stuff's ....

Some rep would be nice Thanks


And please put me for set of front and rear for Brembos please.

When are we going to finalize the transaction? As I am completely skint the serious delay would be much appreciated... Unless someone desperately needs to buy them asap.

Does the price applies to Turbo Grooves only or ULTIMAX SPORT ROTOR as well?
Which ones are better? Is there any difference between them except that ULTIMAX SPORT ROTOR are quieter?

OK, some well earned rep coming your way

Done.

No plans to finalize at the moment Marcin, I want to see how much interest this thread generates first.

No idea on the prices, I can find out if you wish. Also, I have no experience of the Ultimax sport rotor and I am not sure if anyone else on here does.

[Nevman]

When I've spoken to Conceptua Tuning, they've offered me the same price for both types.
I've looked on the EBC website
http://www.ebcbrakes.com/rotorinfo.html
and it doesn't really explains the difference.
If someone got any other sources to establish if there is any advantage to use Ultimax over Turbo Grooves that would be nice if they can post it here.

Thanks for the rep

Found this from the EBC website

EBC now also make their new Ultimax Black Dash series slotted rotors which feature narrower slots and no dimples. This design is significantly quieter. So why does EBC sell two types of sport rotor?
First the larger the slots (as on the 3GD series) the better the air cooling effect, tests on the UK Police Force Chase cars have shown the wide slots to be very helpful at speed at cooling the pad and rotor. Also the 3GD wider slots extend completely to the edge of the rotor and are better at removing dirt, dust, debris and water (making them ideal for off road uses).
On the other hand the narrower slots on the new Ultimax series provide SOME cooling and certainly degas the pads and are therefore a good upgrade option for street use at lower speeds.
People often ask … "Do sport rotors really do anything???” and our honest answer is … in most cases they do. First the cooling advantage is simple physics so YES they cool pads and rotors but the surface area reduction (again, simple physics) actually means LESS braking UNLESS you change the brake pads for a higher friction compound such as EBC to compensate. Every one of EBC pads offer significantly higher stopping than most aftermarket and OEM pads (according to our dyno tests) and one extensive independent vehicle test conducted on a closed race track in the UK on a Sport compact (Golf GTi) showed EBC pads to stop several car lengths faster than three popular USA aftermarket brands tested. Add this extra friction to the better cooling and you have better brakes.
Extra benefits of sport rotors are not often spoken about but are very worthwhile. This is the effect the slots have on maintaining a flat smooth pad surface during the pads wear life. The slots encourage the pads to wear with a more flat pattern and the “Ribbing” common with non slotted rotors does not appear. This removes the “Record groove” effect of pads on plain rotors, particularly around the outer edge and helps pads maintain better contact area with the rotor through their life. As far as EBC is concerned this is the MAJOR benefit of sport rotors over all others as honestly speaking EBC pads have such a high temperature rating they don’t NEED degassing. We test all pads to temps over 1000 degrees.

[Nevman]

You must have been looking deeper that I, Tar Thanks.

That clearly says that Turbo grooves with EBC or Ferodo pads would be better option.

I'll stick to Turbo Grooves than.

Cheers mate.

Put me down for non-Brembo front & rear discs, depending on cash flow at time of deal (but should be OK). I'm out of the country from 24 June to 9 July inclusive.
I was looking at a set of 3G GR-20 front & rears and this was coming out at £416 inclusive of 10% discount.
