I need a new set of brake discs and pads for my SK and was looking up ebay and came across these
http://cgi.ebay.ie/HONDA-S2000-S-2000-FRON...1QQcmdZViewItem
Does anybody have any opinions on these??
I rang up and asked for pricing of discs including ebc greenstuff brake pads and shpping.total cost is 400 pound.Has anybody dealt with this company before or recommend anybody else??

Check out brakes international, they are an S2kUK sponsor. Very reasonable.

Don't touch Greenstuff. It's for lighter cars under 200bhp.. You want redstuff for the S2000 As for the rest of the kit I don't know it.

BI are good for cheap road quality pads/disks. If you can get pads/disks under honda happiness I'd recommend that. It seems to vary by dealer if they'll do it.

I rang brakes international and they quoted me 460 pounds for drilled and slotted disc,mintex pads and delivery.A little bit more but better quality i expect

I asked what the difference between red stuff and green stuff was,and was told the green stuff pads was suitable.

Also got a price of brembo discs for the front only just out of curiousity, 2800 euro

I really wouldn't bother with slotted discs unless you are tracking the car. All they'll do is munch through the pads.

Drilled discs? See my avatar for what happened to one of my spoon discs.

Wasn't MB in talks with someone who claimed to have a decent solution for calipers, discs and pads for the S? Not sure what came of it.

I think the guy left the company, and that was that.
