Pads and discs

And I can remember even having discs skimmed on a lathe. This is the result of British Steel almost non-existent now, the steel manufactured in the UK was far better, and although they still rusted not instantly as they do today even straight after a wash they are already rusting, My GR Yaris is even worse than the Focus.

I have a spare pair of OEM front discs you can have them for £60 got them on offer from Rates Ford. Only problem is postage they are quite heavy.

Well I bedded in these discs and pads and worked them very hard on a trackday yesterday. I know they are “cheapies” but they were faultless and still look like new.  The coating in the middle hasn’t changed at all.
yes the car deserves better.
especially if you’re posing.
but I get through two sets a year so can’t afford the replacement costs of the designer, or fashionable stuff. Nothing lasts forever!

Thanks for your offer if I were closer to you I’d have bitten your hand off, but I agree that posting would be a nightmare due to the weight

Bedded in before the track session Kr1s?

P T no it seemed like a waste.
it was a damp slippery track and only a few cars out in the morning. I did lots of corners without braking to give the discs chance to cool.
