rhrw Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/3782/img0592m.jpg above is a picture of my front discs. The discs have no lipping or grooves or anything obvious...(and the back ones are brand new. ) I ask because I am changing the pads for C Wilson pads, braided lines and new fluid in an attempt to improve braking. So do I need new ones ? Any help would be appreciated, as to be honest I have no idea ! Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Looks like plenty life in them. Get a DTI on them if you must and check for any warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 yeah well maybe its just me being paranoid. sometimes when i brake usualy from 60-70 down to 0 and only gently you can hear them going durrrrrrrrr but other times they are just fine. but you dont feel any judder. The calipers were just reconditioned so i put it down to this. also when i put the car in reverse and brake they clunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 There will be a recomended minimum thickness for your discs, i've no idea what that is but if their O/E discs im sure it will be in some tech info somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 They look fine, plenty of life in those unless they are warped, which you'd know about as the brakes would judder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
