Hi all,

I need to replace my front discs and pads, wheres the best place to buy? (don't have tipec membership)

Is it worth fitting some braided hoses whilst i'm at it?

Any cheeky upgrades i should look at?

thanks,

rick

Get TIPEC membership it's around £30 & will save you that in a few months :mrgreen:

I used Bert at Berlyn http://www.partsforporsche.co.uk/ for my last discs & the pads were EBC Greens but Bert can supply a good OEM Porker pads for you with the discs.
Steel hoses worth doing but at the back you'll probably renew 20-50% of the fixed pipes because the unions won't come apart.

Join now. Then you can use GSF & the discount will pay for your membership :lol:

Braided hoses are a big improvment & cheaper than new oem ones. Sebro reported better than Zimmerman. (Though I've had no problems with the latter.) Paint the bells before fitting unless you like rust.

Sebro bells are already painted

Also, try Euro Car Parts for prices.
