Brakes Upgrade

[Chris_Blue]

I Upgraded my my front discs and pads to EBC Turbo Groved + Drilled discs and GreenStuff brake pads, photos to come. They make a noticeable improvement to the braking of the car :-D and look good too. The standard discs didn't last long, huge lip inside and outside edges, both sides, only had the car 5-6 weeks :-( plently of meat left on the pads though, these looked nearly new still?

Sounds interesting- piccies be good. Did Citroen do the work/ OK it?
Assuming theres a warranty to protect

It won't let me upload the photos? maybe to large. anyway. Citroen know nothing of this. As far as i understand, the brake are not covered by Warranty anyway so no loss? Citroen have yet to up hold they warranty with the car anyway, Every claim has been rejected with the response Always being "we have too many Claims for this problem at the moment so we are reject all new claims." - Perforation warranty claim, bubbles on the passenger and drivers door.

open your picture up in paint and save as same file (jpg) it will reduce file size but not picture size then try upload

Thanks, I had to add some white around the photo to reduce the size because it was already .jpg format (HD Photo -_-)

Nice one Madman. Was there any explanation why your original discs went?
These look good- get them calipers painted red LOL

Thanks,
No I didn't get an explanation but I assume that 15,000 miles is just what the DS3 does per set of discs? It's less than expected but no too bad. :-)

Hmmmm. Not so sure. Was on 21k when traded my 150 in, and discs still looked OK
Surprised mine are a little warped on my 155 after 7k, and been told just theyre OK to leave for a while, just watch them which will do

Just my luck warranty on brakes is 6.5k miles, but reckon they would blame it on the extra BHP I have

Nice bit of red paint on them calipers would look sweet madman0

My OEM ones lasted me 9000 miles from new and a new set had to get put on
