Eicher Discs and pads

[106e30]

Just fitted a pair a week ago and I want to know if anyone has fitted some to theirs?
If so, how did you rate them?

I've had them on another of my cars, and the stand out feature for me was that the 'hub' part rusted, and looked pretty bad. My sister's MINI has them too, and that stops OK around town.

The Pagid/Brembo/Bosch ones I've used since haven't done that.

Nothing wrong with Eicher. Passes all ECE R90 Criteria

Now manufactured in the UK by TMD friction, who also make Pagid.

As with other cheaper discs they come as bare metal, so rust quickly, the more expensive discs though come with a zinc based coating which slows the rusting.

I use eicher discs on my cars but get them zinc plated before fitting

I take it you don't mask off the contact area at all and the zinc just comes off the contact area when used, with no ill effects?

Nowt wrong with Eicher these days.

Always avoided them in the past as they looked too cheap to be any good. I will give them a go next time I need some.

Secondary to their performance; how do they fair with dust deposits compared to Pagid?

I have ECP supplied Pagid pads on my 540 and ive never had so much brake dust on a car, ever! Im about to order new discs and pads, 20,000 miles later, I will be looking to buy Textar pads this time round

I tried Mintex disks and pads all round on my alfa and they were good - great stopping power and not too much dust. Worth a look sourced through ebay.
