Front Brake Discs 323i

Post by arshad76 »

Does anyone know where to get some decent ones, preferably in the U.K? Are there also any that are a tad more expensive but worth the money?

Thanks

Tarox?

You may need to ring and speak with them about availability though?

I use Greenstuff in MIB and reds in the track car. I like both.

Thanks Guys,

A few options to go off now. I'm going to opt for the ones Murrans mentioned as I don't do any track stuff. Ones I have now are warped, so hope they're decent quality, £17 each for solid and £26 for vented, so very reasonable!

I've used discs from brakes international for as long as I've had an E21 - including track day use. Very good value quality and service. Get some new pads on at the same time.
