Disc Differences?

[Bailes1992]

Looking at changing the breaks on the 406 as there squeeling a bit (not grinding). Theres a light lip on the front discs and one or two score marks.
Looking on the Brembo site and they list two discs for my car...

Does anyone know what the difference is?
Also what pads would you say to go for? I'm looking at Ferrodo DS2500 pads but they look a little pricey at £133!

Anything else just as good?
Also what do I do about the rear drums as I've never tried

Ta, Bailes.

Brembo? Ferrodo? You made of money or what?

There are 2 sizes (3 if you include the big 305mm Brembo ones fitted to the V6 coupes but we'll ignore them for now), 260mm and 283mm, as far as I know the 260s were only used on the poverty spec small engined cars (the ones with 14" wheels), I'm guessing you've got 283s but you'd better get the tape measure out to be on the safe side . I'd recommend Mintex stuff, loads of us on here have used them and they're really very good. Ebay seems to be a good source.

These are about the cheapest I can find at the moment....

Or if you want to do the rears too....

but if you're going to do that buy a set of handbrake shoes as well

EDIT: You said drums now? haven't you got discs on the back??? If it's drums ignore all the stuff up there about the rears....

Thanks Welsh One

Much cheaper My Dads Volvo runs Brembo Max discs and Ferrodo DS2500 pads and they are amazing! Hurt your face sort of breaking power

[DaiRees]

Check the size before ordering fella!

[Bailes1992]

Will do mate Do I just measure the whole disc or just the pad contact area?

EDIT: What a stupid qestion Bailes, Now Dai's going to think your insane. 283mm contact area for the break? Pfft

[DaiRees]

Just measure the diameter of the disc mate

What size wheels have you got? 14"s = 260mm discs, 15"s probably 283mm discs.

[Bailes1992]

15" Wheels. Just checked on Euro Car Parts and it dosent say on there

EDIT: Tell a lie therer 283mm
