PF brake discs - are they really any good!?

[glendog74]

Hm, I might give it a try.

Are the AP ones cheaper ?

Yes - by £30 per disc :thumbs:

I have stayed with AP as my last set were very good indeed :thumbs:

Any recommendations for buying Performance Friction discs ?

Shall I stick with PF or shall I try AP this time ?

Thank you please.

I also stick with std rear disc with AP calipers and RS29's. Better and cheaper combo in my experience...........................

The thing is that the OEM ones have aluminium center hub, while the APs are all metal.
I bet the APs are heavier

Did anyone measure the weight of the rear APs ?
The OEM ones are 6.5kg

My rears are nearly FUBAR'd so might give the AP's a shot.

They def look better

I did stick with standard originally but have now moved to rear AP also.

I tried the PF front discs this time around and so far so good :thumbs: I agree with pintpot regarding the RS29's top pads and mine rarely squeak on the road.

[glendog74]

I collected my car from Simpson's today having had discs/pads changed all round. I elected to stay with AP disc/Pagid RS29 pad combo as they have served me well so far. :thumbs:

Inspecting my old AP front discs revealed that i had lots of the small (normal) heat cracks and just one of those cracks had radiated to the disc edge. So not too bad really.

Top marks to Ant & Julian as always and the car is spot on, i just need to recover after the dent to my bank balance...! :bigcry:

Interesting reading...someone has already mentioned inbalance from front to rear so not entirley overlooked.

I thank you ! :hahaha:


Shim , try sitting further back mate, would really help with the ..uh ..weight distribution !!
