Are these the right rear discs?

Just found these on apec's website. The sizes seem to be the same. Do they fit a 255 ?

[Jamesv6]

They certainly seem to match the Vee rear discs measurements.

:bow: hoorah!!

Finally we have some from APEC.

 

[phil b]

Thats what i thought James. Will give them a call tomorrow and confirm along with prices. Are they the same for 230's as they only list one for the rear and it would appear to be associated with the 230 rather than the 255?

 

[Jamesv6]

You would be wanting for PH1 and Ph 2

Ignore Fronts DSK 2552 V310-5 on their website. Those are wrong.

 

[phil b]

If they are available and correct, they couldnt have come at a better time [smilie=yay.gif]

Strange nobody on here was not notified!

 

[Jamesv6]

I've notified thunderstarter who set up the group buy on the discs, he may well ask Apec for more info.

 

[thunderstarter]

Yeah, I've heard nothing from Apec, to be honest I gave up asking. I was promised Production from June this year, but when RPD did the fantastic deal on genuine rear discs the initiative was kind of lost, and since then I've not heard a thing. So if they are now in production, that's great news! All that effort was worth it.

 

[GTTurbo]

How much are they?

 

[phillv6]

Please let us know how you get on Phil, another source of rear discs would be great Fingers crossed you get the answers your looking for

 

[ColinG]

Great news to see these!

A price would be good to know :approve:

 

[phil b]

BOOOOOOOOOOM. Just spoken to Apec direct who have confirmed these are the discs we have been waiting for. they only arrived in the last few weeks and hence most of their suppliers dont know about them. I bought mine from http://buycarspares.co.uk/ and they are supplying them for £50.20 delivered for the set. They are also selling the fronts for £99.79.

Got them ordered and very hapy not to be strung by the !!!!!! by Renault. Well done to all involved in making these happen. [smilie=thanks.gif]

I dealt with a nice chap called Sanjiv there and he can be reached on 0208 920 4190.

So how many people will be changing their rear discs in the next few weeks????
HAPPY DAYS

 

[ColinG]

Blimey!!

£150ish for new discs all round? That is superb!

Job for the winter me thinks!

 

[looch]

This is great news! I don't even need discs yet but I'm well chuffed this finally came off. Well done all involved [cmilie=iconcheers.gif]

 

[Brett]

Feck me that's cheap! Job done. No more pants down for vee owners. Excellent work by all involved.

 

[paul o]

Ordered my rears from same place ,very nice chap and excellent price ,I said to expect a lot more calls for these at this price .suprised APEC supplied them to retailers without us even knowing about it ,when it was down to us for getting them made in the first place :s .even so well done to everyone who made it happen :approve:

 

[Louis]

great news

 

[phil b]

Which pads would people recomend. Have red stuff ones at the moment but havent been fazzled by them. Are mintex any good?

 

[Snails]

I'm surprised given the cost of rears from Renault that these aren't more expensive. Good news though, mine will probably need replacing come MOT time and I was dreading the huge bill for their replacement!

 

[phillv6]

This is great news [cmilie=iconcheers.gif] at last reasonable priced discs for front and rear, think I'll be getting a set of both at those prices :approve:

Phil - The Mintex are fine, but I think that the Red stuff produce MUCH LESS brake dust, therefore I'll be going Red stuff when I get round to doing mine
