Brake part manufacturers

[karlj]

I'm looking at replacing my oem quality (ish) discs and pads for some fast road ones

Could anyone recommend a brand to go with? I've only ever ran with stock so I don't have a clue who to go with and who to avoid

The brakes I'm running at the moment are B13/N14 of that helps

I would avoid mintex. They are expensive and from my experience not very good.

Brembo?

I'd go for boggo discs with Green Stuff pads. Since swapping back to OEM pads, I can't believe how badly and how quickly they muck your wheels up . Green Stuff leave NO crud on your wheels .

Brembo?

Is this based on you're experiences or just a general suggestion?

I was looking at ebc pads but wasn't sure which colour is best suited for road use

Just a general suggestion. I've always gone with what the motor factors have in stock lol I'm guessing mine is blue print?

Go green Karl, putting pads designed for very fast or trackday cars on Micras is, imho, dangerous .

Brembo max discs and greentstuff pads is what i use and once theyre heated up there pretty damn good

 

[karlj]

Think I'll start with just the pads at the moment, luckily stock discs for me are vented so I don't really need to look at drilled/grooved discs

Any recommendations for where to get the green stuff pads at a good price?

 

[Jay101]

Irrc EBay is £51

 

[karlj]

Can get them cheaper than that if you look around

 

[Stani1029]

£51 is a good price, theres no point asking if you say you can get them cheaper if you look around lol

 

[karlj]

Ok so eBay is the cheapest £40 compared to the £45 else where

I made the mistake of asking before looking lol

 

[Jay101]

Totally forgot you had different calipers n discs that price was micra lol

 

[Stani1029]

I made the mistake of asking before looking lol

Haha we all do that, must be a human or man thing

 

[karlj]

Another question lol what's the proper name for number 11

The embarrassing part is I normally take the piss out of people asking stupid questions (not always publicly I should add)

 

[karlj]

Ok I'm on fire for stupidity ignore my previous question, I'm off to sit a corner and think about what I'm going to ask

 

[Belly93]

its the anti rattle shims isnt it?

 

[karlj]

Yeah that's why I said ignore it lol

 

[Belly93]

Oh well lol
