I need new pads and discs but can't find the right ones on ebay and euro car parts seem to be extortionate. Can anyone help with a catalogue number for brembo or bosch or similar? Thanks

It very much depends on your model as to which brakes you need.

 

I might be wrong but on the 220/280hp the rears are vented and 310mm , if yours is not vented then it should be 300mm.

 

I’m buying these personally very soon, but getting my local dealer to install them for £150, expensive I know but independent was around £5 cheaper

Are any of these better than the original discs? I recall reading the Brembos from ECP are rubbish…. allegedly.

I'm very pleased with the Brembo discs I bought from ECP; they've been on for over a year now and, despite little use, they have remained rust-free. I went with the same for the fronts.

 

The Brembo pads aren't great though - they make lots of dust and don't have the same 'bite' as the original pads. I wouldn't buy these again. Ferodo DS Performance were very good on my previous car.

 

@BanquoWait a week or two and ECP will have 40-50% off Brembo yet again.

Is it possible you can take a picture of the rear disc hub? As these are coated I’m hoping it still looks new.

 

Friend of mine has these on his car which is a totally different male and still fine

Here you go, it hasn't been driven for five days so braking surface is a bit rusty. These were fitted in September 2020.

In my first post I listed EBC DPX2173 rear brake pads as being suitable for the 300mm rear brake discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI.

 

However, I've had an email from EBC who say that the 300mm rear brake discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI need EBC DPX2153 rear brake pads.

 

EBC DPX2153 rear brake pads for Superb MK3 300mm rear brake discs

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291600255351?epid=249512428&hash=item43e4bac977:g:1xMAAOSw49xhoHrk

 

The EBC DPX2173 rear brake pads are only for the ventilated 310mm rear brake discs.

Thanks. I've sent a message asking to cancel the order for the pads.

It's a little bit strange that EBC sells two different rear brake pads for the Superb MK3, because ATE (whose brake system it is) sells the same rear brake pads to fit both 300mm and 310mm rear discs.

 

As you can see from the below two links ATE are selling the same rear brake pads for both the 300mm rear discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI and the 310mm rear discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TSI 280HP.

It appears that the 340mm front discs on the Superb MK3 are always matched to the 310mm rear discs, and it also appears that the 312mm front discs on the Superb MK3 are always matched to the 300mm rear discs.

I've had an email from EBC about why they make different brake pads for the rear 300mm and 310mm brakes on the Superb MK3.

 

Apparently, although ATE make the same brake pads to fit either size of rear brake discs, when EBC made their aftermarket copies they purchased OEM Skoda rear brake pads...and they were slightly different from each other. So EBC copied both.

 

EBC say that you are likely to be able to use either DPX2153 or DPX2173 rear brake pads if you are using new discs. But if your discs are used, it will be best to use the same pads that you are replacing (or at least have the friction material in the same place) because the friction material on the pads is likely to have worn an ever so slightly different track on the discs.

 

I think it is for this reason that some people have had problems (possibly vibration) with various cars when they fit new but different pads to used/worn discs, ie. there can be problems if the friction material on the new pads is in an ever so slightly different position to the friction material on the old pads.

 

In making different rear brake pads for the 300mm and 310mm rear discs, EBC appears to be the exception rather than the rule, as most brands make the same rear brake pads to fit both the 300mm and 310mm sizes. These brands include ATE, Bosch, Brembo, Ferodo, Hella/Pagid, Jurid, Optimal, Textar, and TRW. So out of these ten brands, it's only EBC that makes different rear brake pads for the 300mm and 310mm rear discs.

Thanks a lot. Great information
