hi spec brakes

[Leon Coles]

Hi I have brought a compete set of hi spec 6 pot brakes/disc and 4 pot rears with disc job lot costing £1500 they took 6 mouths to get ringing every week. So mk1 escort saw no action summer 06. hi spec are in all the mags and seam to get spoken about highly but they were cats ass to me. anyone else had beef with them.

too expenisive for me... id go for willwood instead, cant be that much worse for the cost difference!

[PIG]

a few people i know wiated bloody ages for there brakes from them

[ratman]

gotta say mine arived in 3 days from order

 

not what you want to hear but I had great service

I read on TS that mk1gaz had ordered some and was waiting ages.

[Rick]

to be honest when you spend that kind of money you really want good service!

 

id be fuming after a few days wanting to know why my 1500 quid wasnt important enough for them

reminds me of an overly expensive leather sofa that i ordered and took months to arrive

Yep , i been waiting about 5 weeks so far for the 6 pot 275mm brake kit to go inside 13 inch rims , when i ordered them they said about 2 weeks !!!!!! They don't even keep one 6 pot kit on the shelf yet they advertise them in all the mags etc . Still there's no other option unless you spend twice as much on a 280mm A.P. kit which only has 4 pots .

If you dont mind me asking Gaz, how much was the kit anyway??

[Guest MK1gaz]

approx £850 for new 6 pot calipers , 275mm discs machined and bolted to lightweight alloy bells , uprated brake pads , braided hoses , V.A.T. and delivery . The kit bolts straight on and runs inside 13 inch rims , the 6 pot calipers wrap right over the big discs and bolt directly to the mounting points so there's no spacers to flex about etc like most other kits available . The wait for the bits is the only killer and i'll be hitting the street this spring time with crap brakes again if they don't hurry up !!!!!!
