Any recommendations or cheap as chips?

 

o/s disc is shot, nice groove, and pads obviously.....😀

 

 

In France until the 20th so no mad rush although IF I get home safely it will be the first job to do 🤣

Cheap as chips has served me very well for the last 2 decades, always wear evenly without any ridging or corrosion.

 

TBH a manufacturer could pay you to take their brake discs and they would still be better quality than what the factory fit!

 

One caveat to the above, the brakes need to be properly used from time to time, not a problem for me now I am towing heavy loaded trailers frequently but in the years after finishing renovating the building when I was running the Apparthotel my brakes rarely were solicited and they would glaze, I had to give them the good news every few months to regain the stopping power or it could get to the stage when the ABS would not cut in on a full on emergency stop, that may have helped prevent the formation of grooving and rusting, in the end I started spending a little more money on pads after the first set which usually came as a bundle with the super cheap discs.

 

I doubt that I have ever paid more than €30 for discs and pads, €60 for both ends but I only have ever bought one set for each vehicle.

Well we made it home, real steady, window opened regularly to listen to the grinding 😀
