What a Bummer
 
Hi Folks,

As my brake pad warning light came on last week I decided it was time to change my front brakes (180) and uprate to the lovely prepared 190 calipers and discs! So after getting my newly refurbed calipers in position (so as not to lose too much fluid)and stripping everything down I went to get my discs (rotors to some guys)and lo and behold I forgot I haven`t bought them yet!!!
So everything back together now and wear sensor shorted out, I am now looking for some new discs (325mm) on the internet. Recommendations please folks, nothing fancy just good solid discs (rotors) that won`t warp and maybe last like they used to in the old days (forever) .

Many Thanks

Neil

And you can get them coated so they don't rust :D

Who needs brakes anyway ! They only hold you back :eek:

Best brake is the accelerator pedal, lift up and you slow down.:getmecoat:
