Stoptech discs / pads supplier

[Temujin]

Hi all, been looking about for a good deal on F&R discs and more than probably pads too!

Searches not bringing up many results unfortunately, most return a different cars' discs which is very helpful.

Where do you use? Thanks!

I’ve been getting them from tarmac sportz, if you give them a call they should give a very good price

I think I got mine from Tegiwa. Long time ago now. They have 15% off disks and pads today (applied at checkout). Don't think they have any in stock though.

Cheers, they’re currently quoting roughly 700 just for f&r discs which I think is a little on the expensive side

I have the larger discs on my car and I got a full set of dixel discs and pads from TotqueGT excellent service and very quick delivery. Looks like full set of discs and pads would be just over £500 (on the smaller disc version anyway)

Are these decent? I saw they do grooved but they’re quite a bit more than regular. Maybe I just need to go with standard look

Any update on the prices from Tarmac Sportz? Doesn't seem to be any on their website.

 

[Temujin]

They can get them but have basically stopped stocking them.

Probably going to go with some dixcel in an attempt to keep prices down a bit. Torque gt are able to do these at a decent price but are pushing the dixcel z pads which in my research seem to be heavily track biased (squeal when cold etc) and they’re also very soft. However on track they’re seemingly an amazing choice, just don’t last too long.

So will be hunting for some other ‘spirited driving’ pads that don’t break the bank.

Alright thanks for letting us know!

I had noticed Dixel ones on TorqueGT seemed to be best bang for buck, both pads and discs but obviously no experience with them yet. The pads are cheaper on Nengun if you're also importing other bits from Japan.

Pads are such a minefield. Managed to find some front stoptechs on ebay from tegiwa for 34% off so bought them, will probably get dixcel discs from torque and then need to decide on rears, which I think should be a little less performant than fronts?
Maybe ebc ultimax or something!

 

[r_efinix7]

Oh good find. Did they not have any rears pads as well?

Does anyone have any info on the ones available on EuroCarParts? They've got Brembo, Pagid and Eicher on there at the moment for the rears. Obviously not for any real spirited driving but at least better than any worn out ones and cheap enough too.

 

[Temujin]

Well they do, but they’re full price and I’ve read a few places that to not upset the bias it can be a good idea to choose a slightly less powerful pad.
I’ll probably end up going with the same tho tbf hehe as I like matching
