UFO's

[HMS-S6]

As some of you know, i have bought a UrS4, which is still on the UFO front brake set up.

I've driven the car and they are quite warped, i understand that they are prone to this?

When i break the S6 saloon i have i will probably put the HP2 set up on it, but for the time being, does anyone know a place to get them at a decent price?

I have a set of the pads laying around but not sure where to get the discs, depending how bad they are, is it possible to skim the discs?

I doubt it due to there design, i have heard rumours of them being a small fortune

[Acidburn]

Yeah think the last set I had ended up in the skip, really was bad the one's on my s4. Hence hp2 time

I'm no longer on the ufos thanks to a Cayenne conversion but I remember reading somewhere at the time that you could attempt to fix the warping by hard breaking at speed (60mph+). I seem to remember doing this but I can't remember how well it worked!

They are a small fortune, £250 each i think. They can be skimmed if you have the correct tooling for your lathe.
I wouldnt bother Rich, get those hp2's on asap.

you can expect to get proper greased if you want to replace - I have parted with a fair bit of cash in the past to replace discs and pads. When Hoffer and I replaced it with the HP2 stuff - we were amazed to see that the UFO calipers had only been presenting half of the surface down and were being pushed against the disc by only 50% of the pad. No wonder they have poor performance. Get shot of them and get the Cayenne's on and your world will be a different place (i.e. scary but in the way you want it).

Ha Ha, cheers Damian. I might be paying a visit down your way to see Rich if i get no further with HMS S6

I will put the HP2's off the S6 i'm breaking but may not have them until after christmas, so may put some discs on it for time being - davmac in nottingham have told me £57 each!
