Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these discs compatible with all Alfa Romeo 147, 156, and GT models?

These discs are designed for specific variants of the Alfa Romeo 147, 156, and GT. It is crucial to verify compatibility using the provided OE/OEM numbers and dimensions against your vehicle's specifications before purchasing.

Do I need to replace my brake pads at the same time?

It is highly recommended to replace brake pads whenever installing new brake discs. Worn pads can negatively affect the performance and lifespan of new discs, and new pads are needed to properly bed-in with the new disc surface.

What does 'Solid' mean for a brake disc?

A 'Solid' brake disc is a single piece of metal, without internal vanes or holes. They are typically used on the rear axle or for lighter vehicles and offer dependable performance for everyday driving conditions.

How do I bed in new brake discs and pads?

A proper bedding-in procedure is essential. Generally, it involves making a series of moderate stops from various speeds (e.g., 30-60 mph) without coming to a complete halt, allowing the brakes to cool down between stops. Avoid harsh braking for the first few hundred miles. Consult a professional for specific procedures.

What is the minimum thickness for these brake discs?

The minimum thickness specified for the Brembo 08.7861.11 rear brake discs is 9mm. Discs should not be used below this measurement.

Are these discs coated?

Yes, the product description indicates that the surface is coated, which helps protect against corrosion during storage and transit.

What is the warranty period for Brembo brake discs?

Specific warranty information is not detailed in the provided product data. Please refer to the retailer's terms and conditions or contact them directly for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can indicate warped discs. Ensure discs were installed correctly, the bedding-in procedure was followed, and check for any foreign debris. If persistent, replacement may be necessary.

Noise during braking (squealing, grinding)

Grinding typically indicates worn pads or debris. Squealing can be due to pad material, disc surface, or improper installation. Check brake pad condition and disc surface; consider replacing pads if worn or incompatible.

Reduced braking performance

Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect brake pads for wear and ensure they are properly seated. Verify that the brake discs are clean and free from contamination. Ensure no air is in the brake lines.

Corrosion on the disc surface

Surface rust is normal on coated discs, especially after exposure to moisture. It should typically wear off after a few moderate braking applications. Excessive or deep rust may indicate an issue.

Care:
