« on: 04 May 2021, 09:44:03 »
Anyone used this website for parts? Prices for Ridex discs appear to be very low, anyone know if they are any good?

My observation was in regards to the stupidly low price rather than the company as a whole.  :y

In theory any type approved part should be fit for purpose, but if you have to change discs and pads every 3k, it's a false economy ;)

Also I’ve found Autodoc very good to deal with, only drawback is it takes 7 to 10 days to get the parts.

Just an update on these Ridex pads... they are at least as good if not better than the original/Padgid/and Brembo which I have fitted previously to this car I can’t believe it for the price they cost 🥜

Wait until you have a few thousand miles and a couple of high speed emergency stops on them.
