Febi brake disc quality?

Beitrag von ZsZ »

Hi everybody!

It is time to change brake discs ony my van. The current ones were some "noname" italian made cheap ones. Lasted ~200k kms and 15yrs. With TRW pads it still grips fine, but it is near the wear limit.

I can get a wide variety of discs from a local parts store but Febi is one of the cheapests. Around 2/3 to 3/4 the price of big brands like Brembo, TRW, Ate, Zimmermann etc.
Listed to be coated like ATE.

Is it worth a try or keep away?

For pads I probably will stick with TRW. They are fine. No squeak, while there is no terrible lot of dust.

Is there a topic here about opinions on discs?

On the end I bought TRW discs and pads.
Discs are made in China, pads are made in Spain

Also bought FAG bearing kit. Inner rollers are made in China, outer rollers are made here in Hungary.
