Seen these on eBay

Just wondering if there any good or not or if anyone else has the same set up? Rear discs are shot due to the caliper being stuck on a bit i think so i thought i might as well upgrade the lot while I'm at it. I'm only using the car for daily road use bit of spirited driving here and there but no track use was also thinking DS2500's pads for the front

Don't get drilled discs as they increase the risk of cracking. Grooved are good put probably overkill as you are not going to be using the car on track.

OEM discs with DS2500's at the front will be more than enough.

Thanks for the reply Colin,I was thinking that but the front discs are a bit glazed over anyway so i would need to buy new discs regardless and the Brembo discs are cheaper than OEM so i thought it would make more sense to spend less but upgrade at the same time lol?

Just get the Brembo blanks or grooved.

Example of what happens with cheaper drilled discs.

This from HOT Stu's DC2 (Kingy):

Yeah think I'll just get the grooved ones don't fancy mine looking like those lol,thanks loxy

Vtecdirect can get front and rear grooved Bremtech's for £180 which are rated very highly.

Can only find plain or drilled and grooved Bremtechs on there site,unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

I use the Brembo oem replacement discs and pads on mine I find them great no problems so far, I don't track mine or anything it's my daily driver I do give it some now and again and they have done everything I've asked of them. I used Honda oem's on my 1st CTR but they would warp all the time, these Brembo's I'm now running are much better. Plus on your link I don't think the discs are Brembo only the pads.

 

[Colin M]

They are not listed so you will need to email or call.

As said already some of these Ebay links are slightly misleading. Although the pads are made by Brembo the discs are unbranded so I would look elsewhere personally.

I've emailed vtec direct just waiting for a reply now,how long does it usually take them to reply Colin?

 

[KAMRacing]

Brembo discs are cheap anyway for a branded disc. I really would not bother with these misleading sellers.

Andy is usually very quick to reply. If he hasn't already I would just give them a call.

 

[Civic Jord226]
