Ratty told me they'd be like chocolate teapots!

Bought discs and Pads from euros for all my cars. I also rate the Pagid stuff as well had them on previous M3s and R32s no issues. They sell the Pagids for the ISF too.

50% off all discs & pads until 9pm.

Cheers for sharing the 50% code.

However, reading this thread, it sounds like eurocarparts may supply non original brembo discs?

@Big Rat, is this the case? And how would I be able to tell if I ordered the discs? I assume if they turn up on non-brembo packaging then that is a giveaway.

They are most definitely brembo Discs.  I have run the Brembos on mine from ECP along with the pads.  Again the pads come fully boxed up and most definitely brembo.

Currently running MTEC discs with a spare set of brembo discs ready for when they need replacing (again from ECP).

The brembo discs from ECP were on the car when Lexus inspected it to provide the warranty.

Cheers for that. Sounds perfect then. 

In the mean time, I've had a little Google and maybe people know but here's the spec sheet for the front discs which gives both the brembo and Lexus part numbers:

They are a little more expensive elsewhere when shipping is included. Also, brembo pads appear to be quite a bit cheaper on eurocarparts with the discount code than they are elsewhere when a code is applied.

Tbh.  If you can afford a bit more then get yellowstuff pads.  

Ran both around town and track and the yellowstuffs are far superior in my opinion (although a bit more expensive)

I can afford them but I'm keeping everything standard.

I'll bear it in mind though. I might try the yellowstuff pads to see what they're like and keep the brembo pads as a spare pair.

Trust me...  after a few miles they aren't yellow anymore in case you are worried about the warranty police ;-)

It's more insurance and what they may or may not argue is a performance mod! I'm only 25 so don't fancy the danger of any additional cost.

Fair one.  Random question....  As a 25 year old how much you paying on insurance?

I am 38 now and pay £380 a year (staff insurance discount) but was paying £1600 on an S2000 when I was 25 :-(

£620. Was £740 when I was 24.

@ollie isf Billy bargain.  Nice work.

[Big Rat]

@ollie isf @FTBBCVoodoo On that matter I think there comes a point where it doesn't get below a particular threshold known only to the Insurance industry, I renewed mine last month I'm 60 years old mine was £382.50 I've just added agreed value insurance for another £49.00.

It has been a bargain for me the last 2 years. I got the online quote for 620 quid ages before I wanted to renew. When I went to renew, I got quotes of about 900 which is what I expected. But I gave them the online quote reference for 620 and they agreed.  Therefore I expect it to increase this year. I should note that's for nil excess and proceed no claims.

I'll be buying separate gap cover for about 100 on top . 

Edited to add:

I have to to get gap as my (mainstream) insurer won't do agreed valuation. Any specialists (who i assume do offer agreed valuation) won't touch someone my age with this car. Couldn't get a single quote at 24 from anyone.

Last year at 25, I got 1 quote for something like 4.5k with a black box from 1 specialist. They're just not interested. Cue Adrian flux to post on this thread (sigh). Their prices are quite frankly hilarious.

Just a quick heads up, just picked up some brembo front disc's and pads for £160 from ECP via a Black Friday deal. (Use code BLACKFRIDAY). Bit better than the £860 Lexus quoted me earlier today!  

[Northern isf]

I'm glad I read your post I've just spent an hour browsing and ordering I can't believe they can do discounts as cheap as they are I've bought two full service kits for a BMW and a Subaru with Castrol oil for the price of a good meal , so thanks for that 😀

This is one main factor that bought me back to a ISF. . How cheap the parts are compared to the German rivals.

50% back on again until midnight tonight.
