Calipers, Discs & Pads Refresh

[Cotswold Polaris]

My Christmas / NY holiday job was to replace all 4 tired discs, worn pads, and clean up and repaint the calipers. I decided to recolour the stock red Calipers to Brembo green. I am delighted with the results.

Discs are the drilled & grooved MTEC ones, with Mintex pads, all works well and very good value.

The only snag was despite trying & trying, I could not fit the notorious front spring clip covers! So I’ll leave that to the garage when it goes in for service next (before I damage any more
paint).

From this:

Which makes the car look like this:

Interesting, how do they compare to std? I assume they are noisier due to the groves?

What did you pay per axle for the discs?

Cheers

Front pair discs £136.99, rear pair £110.86.
Braking is certainly improved but I’m not sure exactly where that can be attributed too - new pads, discs, or new brake fluid and bleeding all round. Probably a bit of all.
I haven’t noticed any additional noise whatsoever.

"I could not fit the notorious front spring clip covers!"

What front spring clip do you mean?

Nice colour for the calipers, with the car being white your eyes are drawn to the brakes!

I am always a bit miffed with the state of my calipers, especially the front ones. They do look as if they have rusted and just been painted over, the casting is that rough.
