Replacing front and rear discs and pads lots of different manufacturers out there are any better or are all alike.

Any advice welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Original from Toyota a lot more expensive are they worth it?

Hi I would recommend Brembo discs and pads they are not the cheapest but are worth it. You can get them from Autodoc online.

Many thanks Steve

Let us know how you get on, especially on the prices.

 

I have Brembo discs and pads on a vehicle I own; not my Alphie.

The costs can be considerable.

No problem and will do 

Apec Red is what is on now but if discs are needed want them same brand

Apec blue are seemingly not so good as Apec Red but looking too compare and listen to other folk like you for guidance.

Don't mind paying a little more if better but obviously don't have money to throw or waste.

Will let you know how I go thanks

I personally go for blueprint as they are oe spec and for the jdm market

As a club does someone have a master catalogue on said spares so all can view for easy ordering perhaps.

Hi Brian1957,

Have a look on opie oils Web site usually good prices, and they stock the blueprint pads.

 

I changed ours when we got it for Apec Red, from my local autofactors. Very happy with the stopping power. 

Did you have any concerns about yours with that brand?

The Apec Blue were the old "Brakefit" subsidiary which were a bit cheaper, but still good stuff, had them on our Subaru Outback 3.0.

Hi BigNev

Thanks for your message and apologies for delay in getting back to you.

I am reasonably happy with Apec red but heard from a few mechanics now that Brembo were far better just that when replacing discs the pads would have to be replaced also.

It is always good getting opinions on such like from folks with the experience.Will be ordering in the next few days so at this stage my thoughts are my van is not a racing machine but in the event it can stop a few yards quicker safety is possibly bettered.Recently our mechanic suggested put Brembo discs pads at front and at rear less important as 75% breaking power is all on the front in general.

I am no mechanic and like to get opinions as money is not something I can afford to waste.

Will let you know but no complaints about Apec red they are possibly all that is needed.

Thanks again
