I need to replace the front discs and pads on my 57 plate jimmy. Any recommendations on brand. I see ape appear a lot but am worried the price is too good to be true?
Any advice most welcome!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Apec are fine, they have been making replacement discs & pads for 50 years.
Make sure you get the right discs, later Jimnys like yours have a bigger hole in the middle, so although any year disc will go on an early car, only the later discs fit the newer models.

thanks thats great advice. Got terrible death wobble and i think it is warped discs. I damaged them last year when a pad fell out and they have been bad since. Hopefully thats the cause of death wobble...

All Jimny front discs are solid, which is why they warp.
