Front discs

[trev260764]

Seems I need the front discs replacing, reckon I can do em myself! Looked on-line, I am looking at about £150. Sounds a bit steep...

Anyone with any recent (cheaper) experience? Just need the car for everday use - no track days!

Bert has them for £62 each inc vat http://partsforporsche.co.uk/osc/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=37d9ae270416ea3be81c00dbe3fa3733&keywords=s2&categories_id=9&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=44&y=9

+1 for Bert. 951.351.041.02: bottom of page two. Theyre about £140 each from an OPC excluding VAT.

I heard the OPC ones had painted bell's ? anyone confirm if this is correct.. Dave

Yep, actually they are grey powder coated as if you scratch it it comes off. Are you sure S2/turbo discs are £150 each? I got rear ones for mine for about £60 reduced from £80 in one of those secret OPC clearance sales, and when I priced up the 928GTS discs when I upgraded to BB's they came out at £150 each. Though discs for a GT3mk2 come out at £350 each!

Im not sure and I have no idea what a decent parts department will do them for, but thats the price that the part number brought up. All I ever managed to buy cheap was three series two windscreens (£50+VAT) from JCT600 in Bradford. When they came PCGB had sent 3x 968 cabriolet screen with top tint (which no one wanted to take back) so I suppose that I did alright...

Eurocarparts is another option. The Sebro discs are around £45 each (I've not been on th the website recently - based on memory only) and they are apparently OEM fitment - they have painted bells also. Avoid Zimmermans IMHO.

ECP £127 inc for a pair of Sebro discs (OEM) £35 inc for Pagid pads £15 inc pair of wear indicators Bought today - have also found Promax v.good on pricing lately (belts, rollers, wpump, chain and slipper pads) Rich

Yeah I found Promax v. god on pricing lately, consistently out pricing "OPC". I bought my discs and pads all round last year from Bert, was about £600 IIRC. Discs are easy to do, my old very worn ones are currently sitting in my garage, the "new" ones are going on this weekend if I remain sobre for long enough. One of the screws that holds the discs in place needed an impact screwdriver to remove it though. No idea why, just being awkward []

When I was checking prices for KW's a while back they wouldn't budge from the list price when plenty of places were discounting them, pity as they are one of the nearest indy's to me and I would have given them other work.

Pauly Where did you buy from in the end? Rich

if you wanted to move up to grooved discs is there a good place to start? recommended supplier for 944s?
