    I had (factory fitted) Alcon’s on my 2017 308 GTi. 380mm up front! Keep an eye on the pistons in the callipers. They were notorious for seizing and mine did just that due to being chrome plated from factory which ultimately wears away. Hopefully Alcon have addressed that by now!

  • @KCnLex
    @KCnLex 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Aesthetically, I prefer the caliper color being consistent and quite like the way the red calipers looked. (Although I have seen some black and yellow ones which were equally attractive.) But boy those are some big brakes! Really like the videos that show how things work and how they are installed and hope you do more.

    Great, informative video. I have 2 questions. Do you know if there was any weight difference, disc’s plus callipers, on the front. As you needed longer studs on the front I assume that the track on the front has increased ie front wheels wider apart?

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if the weight difference but the new discs are quite a bit heavier. You are right, the front track is a little wider by a few mm 👍

    Peugeot 308 GTi comes with 380mm Alcon discs, they have an issue where the caliper pistons are not stainless steel and prone to rusting seizing up and knackering disc, pads, pistons and caliper needing a refurb. Might wanna check if the pistons with them are stainless steel or not. God speed brakes supplied my upgraded pistons

    Great informative video. I am surprised though that a check for any disc run out did not appear to have been done. Quite often if the a new disc is mounted on a used hub and there is any sort of debris on the surfaces, it will result in the disc have an amount of run out which will mean over time the disc will wear incorrectly, manifesting itself in vibration under heavy braking.

    Presumably you wouldn't just upgrade the fronts, due to unbalancing the braking for the front to rear ratio?

    That was an interesting film but my car OCD would not allow grey caliper at the front and red at the rear with a gun metal disc at the front and black at the rear and you have lost your JCW caliper as well. I suppose if your are tracking the car it needs to stop but aesthetically not so good looking.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I might paint the rear calliper. Fronts are trade mark Alcon so they are staying like that. Rear disc was only black until the first time I hit the brakes then they turned shiny 😜😂

      @@PetrolPed That's the way I would do it. I will be able to rest easier now that you have averted "brake gate" for me. You see I like the rally flaps but the caliper colour would not rest easy for me. To be fair I like a red caliper as an accent but can see your reasoning for the Alcon brakes. Who wouldn't want their mini to wear brakes that Aston's wear.

    Just loving the sound of Ruby growling in to have her brakes done. She sounds much nicer when growling rather than the silly popping.
    Is the lad fitting these, the one who did Charley's rally flaps?
    PS omigosh I just googled the price of those pads. I've had to take a lie down 🛌 I have come over all funny.

      @@PetrolPed So glad the silly pops n bangs will be gone. I saw a video of a young man on TH-cam changing his fake engine sound on his f56 cooper S for that of a JCW (not pops n bangs, just a deeper beefy sound) via the ASD (active sound design) on Bimmercode so I tried to do mine and ASD didn't even show up on the Bimmercode app. I msgd them and sent logs from my app and the chap asked if I had the ASD ECU on the inside of my car above the nearside rear wheelarch. I said to him that I should have it as my Cooper S is a 2020 and he said he thought they all had it too.
      So I got my hubby in the back of my car removing panels and sound proofing, he even put an inspection camera in there only to find I haven't got one.
      I'm not bothered, it's not like I had fake noise annoying me as I'd never heard it but I felt that IF I had to have a fake noise, I was going to have a roar. I can only assume that not fitting one was maybe an oversight when it was on the production line 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Hi Gary. My Minis are of course a key part of the channel but I never intended to be a Mini only channel. I try and do as much as I can with them. Actually filmed something with Charlie yesterday and something else next week. I always try and bring an eclectic mix of content. Hope you understand 👍
