Glanza Front brake disc advice

[shelly_star]

Hey guys. I am in need of some new front brake disc, can anyone tell me whether it's essential to have ABS versions for my glanza 1996? As some brake disc's i've seen are listed for ABS and Non ABS.... is that important??

I've found these which were really cheap, anyone think it will be any good?

And can anyone tell me whether grooved, dimpled, plain is best?????? where else sells good brake disc for starbos, i've seen ebc ones from monstermotors i think.

Thanks!!!!

if you have abs you will need abs discs,

i usually use bluprint discs with sard pads and they do the job nicely.

Yes you will need ABS discs if your V has ABS, the EBC fast road package is a quality upgrade and well worth a look, try Tuning Developments or even Iddy.

Thanks guys for that, someone told me that only the rear brakes are ABS so the fronts are fine, that true yeah?

[james@cjperformance]

abs rings for the fronts are on the cv joints and on the back they are part of the disc. front discs should be the same

[turbo Grant]

The front abs runs off the c.v joints. I wouldn't think there is much difference in the discs. I'm an ep82 boy tho

[shelly_star]

any difference in grooved, dimpled or plain disc's?

[james@cjperformance]

dont bother with dimpled, just go for grooved, they work fine unless your tracking it

[H_D]

your right about the discs on the front as the abs ring is on the C.V but you must get the abs ones for the rears

dont go dimpled i ve had 2 or three sets of the ebc grooved and dimpled and they all cracked

[dazzariley69]

talk to iddy, he offerd me a grooved set up with a choice of green or yellow stuff pads i believe it was

I've seen those brake disc, they actually look quite nice i notice Iddy sells them for £128

The CRN are cheap nasty discs that have been grooved. EBC are quality.

I had those discs you posted in your first link on my old 211bhp GT. They lasted about 6-8 weeks. ;)

[Ryan-11]

I ran CRN discs and yellow stuff pads for 2 years with 250bhp, works fine for me, i think its luck of the draw.

Sorry bro but they are pagid discs, which are fitted by audi etc....ive been beating on a set for 20-25k? now with redstuffs without fault....

I had the same thought but was set straight by ollie, read around on the other forums

Go with grooves, 5-6 is ample not the gazillion that most come with

[Idrees]

They use Blueprint discs too (so I am told).

I stripped my car after 6-8 weeks of using these discs and there was barely anything left on them. They were CRN's early days though, maybe they've improved. They made an awful humming noise when breaking hard too, I heard a few others say this back at that time too (on TGTT iirc).

I did email CRN....... no darn reply yet... grrr!!
