brake discs

[renegade79]

can anyone tell me what the difference is between these brake discs other than the price?

these are listed at €530

and these are listed at €202

although i've just noticed at the bottom of the latter ad, it says that the actual discs may differ from the ones shown above :eusa-think:

The cheaper ones are smaller, 302mm. The more expensive ones are 340mm.

Hi if you notice they have different part numbers.
I have just purchased these with the fast road pads for my Z 302mm discs
Paid £270 all in I've just got to find time to fit em! I've had a look at them and they're a serious bit of kit not cheap though. :beer:

Hi Renegade79,

I've checked the part number on my Discs for the RCZ with standard brakes 302mm.
The Black Diamond code is KBD3208COM these are combi discs drilled and grooved.
So I think the ones on EBay are a different fitment.

Hope this helps. :thumbup:

Thanks guys! I need the 340mm brakes for the hdi version. Where did you pick yours up from neil? I need new front brakes and was considering getting these. they look like serious kit. be interested to know how you get on when you fit yours? would you need to do a brake fluid change with new discs and pads aswell?

Hi Renegade79,
DC performance .co.uk were the cheapest but Euro performance parts matched them and I had bought from them before and found them to be reliable so purchased from them.

You don't need to change the brake fluid at the same time I believe it should be done every 4 years.
I'm planning on painting my calipers at the same time so need a free weekend to get the job done. There have been lots of good reviews on these brakes so fingers crossed. :beer:

Thanks Neil. It's a job I will look into before the end of the summer!

My understanding is that brake fluid changes are recommended every 2 years, not 4.
