Front Brakes and Pads

[skymera]

I need new front discs as mine have a small lip on the edge.

I'm not sure what to get. I currently have Nissan OE discs and Green Stuff pads.

Will I benefit from OE pads and slightly uprated discs? Or stick to OE spec discs and Green Stuff pads?

I see this, any good? Worth the £50?

Any recommendations welcome

Pads are what do the work so if it was my choice I'd choose uprated pads over discs everytime.

Grooved drilled etc discs only help cooling and pad deglazing.

Its totally up to you but that set should be worth its money

Can you not grind the lip off? How thick is the disc itself?

I don't want to downgrade my braking performance. I understand I'm in a 50hp Micra, but you learn to live with what you're used to.

Fairly thick imo, but I know nothing about brake discs. I was told I needed new discs.
The lip is quite noticeable both sides of the disc, maybe 1-2mm.

the lip wont really affect the braking performance scott, but bad scoring on the face will tho.
you used to be able to get pads that had a coating of abrasive on them (that cleaned the face of the disc on the 1st few miles)

Getting mine done on thursday too, cannot wait. Got some more pictures coming soon too.

I'll probably get the Brembo brake disc and pad combo for £50.

I'm a little concerned the pads will be cheap.
Might be worth me getting Brembo discs alone for less and some EBC Green Stuff pads again?

 

[Shamalam]

Probably gonna take a look at that myself. Good plan Scott.

you're on 14s scott, why not almera calipers, discs and pads?

I'll think I'll get Brembo solid discs and EBC Green Stuff pads.
Or Brembo discs and Brembo pads

Price up later

Brembo disc and ebc pads

This has been put on the back burner till everything else is sorted

 

[h701micra]

Dont blame you. No need for it to stop if it wont go

 

[Shamalam]

just had new discs/pads and track rod fitted for £100. Not too bad imo

 

[L33jackson]

micra discs and pads can be had for £55.00 fr the set. Good ones too.

Unless you have a 1.4 which has vented discs. thats a bit more
