From A to Zed Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi guys, After reading the guides on the forum I thought I would have a crack at this myself... I must admit to being touch nervous as I've never attempted anything like this before so I was really chuffed when it all went so smoothly. I highly recommend giving this go if you have the time and some decent tools Attached are some pictures of my DBA discs and Ferodo pads. Look at the state of the old discs, they looked fine on the outside but the inside was another story http://s484.photobucket.com/albums/rr20 ... 78/brakes/ And I know my arches my filthy!!!!

From A to Zed Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks everyone, appreciate the comments - Believe or not the brakes were still fine in that state... I was at Bedford on Friday for my first trackday and I was amazed how well they performed... Those 22mm bolts take some breaking don't they!!!

From A to Zed Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 How many km did you have on those discs mate? Hi Fatalus, I am not the first owner of the car so I think they might be the original discs. My car has covered 53,000 miles which is about 85,000 km. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From A to Zed Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Cheers Stew. This was possibly the first job I managed without gashing my hands and swearing too much I really need some Swarfega though, my work colleagues are begining to wonder why my hands are black every Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
