Change front brake disc

[benico]

Hi Guys, participated in the Service Clinic offered by C&C, was told to replace the front brake disc as it is now thinner than the recommended thickness, my car has only travelled 32,000 km... is this common?

They changed mine during my B Service (30000km). It boils down to how aggressive you are with the brakes.

How much did it cost you?

Buy from local stockist & get outside workshop to fix it. It's a no brainer job for a good mechanic Should save u enough money to bring your family out for a nice meal. Check out Goldenlink...they also carry ATE ceramic pads. Very good for dust free rims....really! Had mine done last week for both rotors & ceramic pads at very reasonablle price.

Any untoward issues like squealing? Or do they work perfectly?

The original pads that C&C fitted 3months ago started to squeal after 2 weeks. The ATE ceramics works like a charm....bite is twice better than OEM, But the best part is there's no dust at all. Now my rear rims are dirtier than the front...makes me want to change the rear too.

Can PM me the price you paid? I'm also thinking of changing pads? Ha...ha...

I just called Golden Link. They have ready stock. Told them I'm coming next week.

I have the same experience with C&C pads. They squeal. How much were your front pair?

Bro...mine is W204 AMG C250. The ATE ceramic pads cost $140 (a pair). The Cross drill rotors costs $250 (a pair). Brought it to nearby Sin Ming workshop called Team Sportivo to fix, labour only $30 plus..

Thanks. Very cheap compared to C&C. Looks like I have to do this during next change.

Agree...getting original parts from local stockists makes sense if you have no more service credits to use in C&C.

[Odessus]

At the rate C&C charges, it's a wonder how long the service credits can last.

$2k service credits can last 1.5yrs only or 30,0000km....sigh.

Finally replaced my brake pads, front and back, with ATE ceramic. Cost $299.60 with GST. Another $70 to install and wash rims. My dust-free days have begun!!!

Which model? They told me $140 for front for W212 and no stock for rear.

[manmerlion]

Mine is W204. I checked both outlets (Ubi and Sin Ming). Both have stock.

bro, wanna to check if u had bought the ATE ceramic pads and Cross drill rotors from Golden Link, then install at Team Sportivo?

Mine brake pad is almost finishing, and is looking at replacing both ATE ceramic pads and rotors.

Cheers...

That's right. Buy from Goldenlink & tell them to carry the rotors (quite heavy) to Team Sportivo. Look for Ricky at Team Sportivo....just pay labour charges only. Don't forget to buy the brake pad sensor...only $5.

[Machi]

Thanks for the info....

Cheers!!

[bravooc10]

Thanks for the info. Due to change next servicing!

Is true that ceremic brake pads wear off the rotor faster?

Not sure specifically about ceramic brake pads but aftermarket sport brake pads do wear off stock rotors faster.
