Black Diamond pads and disks?

[Se7en172]

Any info on these pads! And Iwas considering upgrading the rear discs toi the black diamond disks! Any point in doing this? or should I stick with OEM?

Stock disks and pads are fine.

 

[Se7en172]

for the rear? I am going to try these Black diamond pads on the front I think!

Daniel had them on his ph1 172 and said they were very good

I got black diamond discs on the front with ds2500 pads. Very good so far!

Black dimond disks are very good but only worth while on the front rears are fine with stock.

stock disk though are fine anywya just if your experiacing trouble it hard track days then there a good upgrade root.

^^^^^^^ agreed, the clio has such a light rear end anyway any stonger braking from the back could lead to overbraking from it, thats from experience

 

[Se7en172]

I think by MOT I will need new rear disks, so stock disks and pads it is!

 

[Martin_172]

no point upgrading unless you require the extra stoping power or want something that last longer on track

I dont suppose after market discs with standard callipers is going to make much diffrence with stopping?

I take its the drilled and grooved discs?

B.D Discs are good , although when run with there own pads are pretty awful. I found B.D discs with either Ferodo DS2500's or Mintex 1144's/Extreme pads to be very good.

Although as mentioned , unless you desperately want extra stopping power a decent quality standard disc and pad are perfectly fine.

I have about 35 more horses than standard, so ifeel Ineed the extra stopping ability!

If I had to change discs for MOT anyway - I'd probably get some drilled/grooved etc even on the rear - just for show - and because they won't be any more expensive than the OEM discs anyway.

They will make a small different nothing as much as different pads do though.

There drilled and groved I think from memory.

Thats not a huge amount of extra plus depends how you drive etc.

Don't bother fpor the rear drilled disks crack in use usually black dimon are miles better but for the rears stock are way better they don't crack and are more than enough.

Is that right? Im also thinking of getting some drilled discs (more for asthetic purpose than function) but if thats the case ill just stick some stock discs on the rear

 

[Martin_172]

my black diamond drilled and grooved front disks on my 1.2 cracked to f**k and failed an mot.

dont bother upgrading rear disks, the renault ones although costing £190 odd come with the bearings presed in etc saves hastle! plus because they last forever drilled disks would crack way before they needed replaced.

Se7en172 what happened to the 197 i'm guessing you did a swap on the 172cup??

 

[MON]

I used black diamond pads on my previous car and was very pleased with them. I am about to order a pair for the 182 and my other car. The main benefit being they are a very low dust pad, but also perform very well (normal/fast road use).
