    yup theyre about as cheap as youll find them, but yet again ive had another Febi product fail about a year after fitting.

    this time it was rear discs. the shiny coating/plating has cracked on the near side.

    so now new rear discs from ECP will be 60 with rings, 15 pads and 25 bearings




    lovely

    they ruined or is just not long exposure to heat cycles?

    the MOT man wouldnt be too impressed. the "cracks" are easily visible going from the centre outwards. the reason i looked was the rear brakes making unusual noises in the morning. evenutally the shiny/plated section will start to lift off

    Are you sure they're plated? It's a bit of an odd thing to do on a brake disc.

    when i get them off ill pick the "plate" off and get a pic up. my car came with zimmerman drilled ones, at the very end of their life, they "cracked" but that was just the plating too, not the actual disc

    in essex we need a lot of bling (and our fog lights on) otherwise wed get deported to the north
