Which Brake Disc And Pads Do I Need?

Featured Replies

Hello,

Thanks for reading first of all. I have replaced the pads and discs on my car before. I have just forgot what parts it was that I purchased.

I have a 2005 Ford Firsta Ztec Climate

I have asked the seller if these parts will for my car I was told yes but was also advised the following which doesn't make much sense to me so I will be needing any advice that anyone is willing to offer me.

The seller said '

Thank you for your Email.

I can confirm the discs are listed for your reg so long as:

Brake Disc Type Internally Vented

Diameter [mm] 258

And the Pads are listed so long as you have an ATE breaking system on your vehicle.'

I have no idea if the diameter is ok, and I thought my car was ABS not ATE if anyone can shed any light on this or check out this auction and throw me some advice it would be helpful.

I know these parts are cheap, *holds head in shame*

Thanks and virtual beer to all who have some advice!

Thanks!

ABS is Antilock Braking System (Antiblockierungsysteme actually) and ATE is a brand (a trademark of Alfred Teeves, a brake manufacturer) so those really aren't the same kind of thing.
