Anyone used this website for parts? Prices for Ridex discs appear to be very low, anyone know if they are any good?
-
What does your instinct tell you?
-
Mine tells me not to eat yellow snow. Cant speak for Malcolm though. :D
-
Ive used them a few times without issue
-
Thanks for the reality check guys. I will stick with known quality brands and avoid any yellow snow! :y
-
Ive used them a few times without issue
My observation was in regards to the stupidly low price rather than the company as a whole. :y
They have some pretty handy how tos on YouTube :y

Must read more...
Autodoc = Good (imho)
Ridex = who knows!
-
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 ;)
-
I have Ridex in the omega at the moment and they are working fine so far and I’m not hanging about in it they seem to be very good.

From the horses mouth :y
-
Also I’ve found Autodoc very good to deal with, only drawback is it takes 7 to 10 days to get the parts.
-
I use Autodoc as well.
Good service but as Rae says, can take upto 10 days delivery
-
I used genuine Mintex kit on mine not bad price on Ebay last year
-
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.
-

And more. 21 days last time I ordered off them. Never again.
-
Don’t worry they have been tested very well, although I will update again in the future (if they still stop me😂😂)
-
For the first time trying out Autodoc and found them very straightforward to deal with for a Bosch sensor.
It was going to be delivered today, 5 days after ordering, but I have put that off until tomorrow as I was out today ;)
-
Yep, following my previous post, Autodoc did very well, with the genuine Bosch crank senor delivered and a perfect match for my life expired one.
The packaging was good and reflected the fact it is a genuine product by Bosch.
Earlier in the week I made the mistake of ordering the same part from what I thought was a separate German company, but in fact it was Autodoc. But it was not a problem to cancel and today I received a full refund.
So, all in all, they can be considered a good company to deal with, but not forgetting some of their customers complain strongly about the time it takes for them to deliver. I can only say I did not have that problem ;)

To be fair we sometimes have trouble with our own postal service, why should Fritz be any better😂

Indeed, and the Autodoc parts have to go through customs, then be transferred to a U.K. carrier, Parcelforce, from the European one GLS, which actually is owned by our Royal Mail Group. That takes time. ::) ;D ;D ;)
-
Absolutely no different to something coming from the US (and all the faff that apparently entails) ;D
-
Postal services can be hit and miss in my experience no matter where it’s coming from🐌🐆
-
I had an issue with an item I bought from Autodoc, and needed to return it. It was then that I realised that they don't really exist.
Not heard of Ridex. And that probably should be ringing enough alarm bells to look elsewhere.

As I’ve said, I’ve fitted Ridex front pads to my Omega and they are proving to be very good. Are you doubting me? ... punk?

neither you or TB use the brake pedal :-\ just the accelerator :P so how would either of you know ;D
-
I have carbotech xp10 fitted to the front of my Evo2. They’re £250 a set :y.... they work, 400 plus bhp/torque 1150 kg it takes some stopping, took a while to find the very best, I know my brake pads. I have tried them all👍 I’ll say it again RIDEX ARE FINE. (At least for any Omega).

On my Omegas, I averaged about 6k from a set of pads. Which is an improvement from an old work provided Escort van, where I averaged 3.5k.
So I do demand good brakes ;D
-
Try them👍
-
Might try a set on the rear of the Boxster, as it will need some soon. :y
-
You won’t be sorry I stake my reputation on it👍😂
-
If it ends up backwards through a hedge, I will send you the bill. :y ;D
