Omega General Help / Re: Best EBC pads for the 3.2.

« on: 19 March 2019, 16:00:20 »

All of those suggestions have been followed in the last couple of years and the car has passed its MOT in the last six weeks without any real problems,other than rusty front discs and corrosion on the brake pipes,hence the planned work, plus a small bucket list of fettling. Serek has checked it out and has found no problems with the system other than the above, so the discs/pads new calipers plus all metal brake pipes etc,will be replaced and I'll see how they check out in the scheme of things.The car has 244k on the clock and as you say the system could be tired, but with those new parts on the car,it will give a starting point as to the next step,if needed. Also I did drive Pauls car for a hundred miles or so and the Monaro brakes on it were very good....food for thought there!

O.K my view only....I think on this car,that the brakes are not anywhere as good as the other two of my Omegas,and looking at the calipers and discs they are really due to be renewed anyway.So that's the reason behind my thinking, as I've never been that happy with the brakes on this particular car, and it's a suck it and see exercise to get an improvement albeit marginal.There is the option available as suggested by Dr G on the Monaro calipers and discs and I'm thinking that could well be the better choice.....anyone fancy a set of M TEC d&g discs....only kidding  Thanks for the input from everyone,will have a final think before the deed is done

True, there are some very nice ones still out there,but the boys from N.I are taking them back over to the Emerald Isle never to been seen again I've just seen a 1994 one on for three grand and a very nice one at that,so yes definitely there's still a few good ones to be found

I need to remove the above item to use it for a paint match, as the car was resprayed a few years back but in a whiter shade than its original 10L. I have asked the guy who did the respray,but he can't find it in his records...just need to get some rattle cans made up for some minor fettling. TIA

Once the car is under power,everything is normal except for the initial start off, diff is quiet...no whine or rumble. Will have to get the whole thing checked out.

The shocks are virtually brand new Bilstein B4's fitted nine months ago,so Im thinking it's got to be one or even both of the possibilities that Dr G has outlined.
