dogbucket Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Unfortunately I have just had to have new front disks and pads to fix clicking noises from the osf, apparently the pads were beginning to crack (whoops ) Obviously I knew they were going to cost, but £600 for the parts alone!? Even the service guy was shocked and took most of their usual labour charge off the bill. I guess my hand was forced slightly as I would not of been happy driving it away with knackered brakes, but for not alot more would have bought some nice aftermarket ones. A shame that nobody does not do OEM like replacement ones yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffers Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know what you mean. My R32 is going to need new front discs/pads later this year and for the price of OEM parts I could have some nice ECS 2-piece discs and redstuff pads! Decisions, decisions...

pomme Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Im pretty sure he got them direct from ECS, but there are a few ECS distributers in the UK. But Deckeds upgrade is a proper upgrade and costs $2250 from ECS, without shipping. But you can get just there 2 piece oem replica which costs $640 for the fronts and $600 for the rear.
