AP Pads & Rotors

Graham · 22-08-2012, 12:20 PM

Just wondering where you guys buy your stuff?
I have been quoted £268 for Pagid RS29's
And £490 for AP rotors

Does this sound about right? This is for fronts

i go to Questmead mostly

last time I bought these were prices with discount;

RS29 E8018 - £188.92 + vat (FEb 2012)
RS29 E1265 - £155.86 + vat (Feb 2012)

AP front Disc £192.41 + vat (Jan 2009)
AP rear Disc £169.83 + vat (FEb 2009)

And Performance Friction discs from Alyn at AS Performance were;

What's the difference in those RS29's? Does it depend on the caliper? Mine are 5575's. Or does it mean front/rear?

What would you recommend, AP discs or PF? I have PF on the car at the moment, and they have looked worn for the past 6 months but been absolutely fine! So I have no problem with them, but very little price difference of PF vs AP so what's best?

And questmead says trade only? Or can you just ring them

E8018 are fronts for CP5575
E1903 are fronts for CP5555 (thicker by 1mm)
E1265 are rears

IVe run both AP and PF discs and noticed a marginal life improvement on PF. AP discs do hairline crack early but cointinue to perform. Either imho.

Questmead will serve public.

Ah ok makes sense thanks alot! May go for PF then, mine are also hairlined cracked too but I guess that's the joys of performance brakes.

Good till you cannot feel the groove. Probably got 4-6 TD days left.

Ive got RS29 yellows on mine and have great bite.

They are getting a bit naughty, the grooves are dissapearing. You reckon mine had that many left? I was under the impression they were pretty dead! I could do without the cost of buying discs but putting pads on old discs is a no no is it not?

That's what I run mate, they were absolutely spot on again as usual yesterday, solid feel from 130mph everytime. I had to come in because I was tiring myself out not because the car felt tired

billyboysm3 · 22-08-2012, 04:35 PM

So anyone know roughly how many TD's PF discs will do?

Shimmy how many have your done?
