Brake pads and discs package for BB9

snike77 · Post by **snike77** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 10:36 am

I have a BB9 2.0i 1998 model, and was looking at some new discs and pads, and came across these on ebay, as you can see one is advertised as being for the BB9 model at £118 and the others for the BB3 model at £87

What i was wondering is that would either of them be suitable for my car? as £30 less for the BB3 ones would be the obvious choice

See links below to both sets

Rear brakes, per chance? Congrats on the pass though!

Yeah, rear brakes mainly, binding etc

rear shocks corroded too so good excuse to get it dropped now lol

Ok, a strip down and re-grease of the piston and sliders in the rear calipers is a relatively simple job to do yourself. I'm sure there is a 'how-to' on here somewhere.

As for lowering the car, please do not go down the eBay coilover sleeves route or you will regret it...
