Delphi Brake Pads/Discs...Any Good??

[P17 TOO]

Does anyone have any experience of these and know if they're any good?? Got a quote today from a garage and these are the only ones they'll do for my 172 so just wondering as they cost about a 3rd of what Renault want for genuine discs/pads plus fitting??

Thanks

IMO not worth it, they're just a cheaper imitation of OE brakes. If you're looking to stick to standard, fit Brembo Discs, and something like Textar/Pagid for pads, ie. something from the TMD Friction group.

Hope that helps.

OE are Brembo HC's aren't they?

Genuine Renault discs are OE, Brembo HC's are made to the same OE specifications - so basically they're the same discs!

Not to bothered if I don't have standard but I want something that's going to be about as good as standard or better. If the Delphi pads/discs are basically cheaper versions of the standard ones shouldn't be alot of difference should there??

Delphi will be made to oe spec i am sure, I used to have apec stuff on my cup and they were fine, also had some ebay special £50 for pads and discs ALL ROUND on my gti, they were also spot on.

EDIT : Although i would not recommend them if you drive like Jason Plato, like budget tyres, they are fine, but you wouldn't do a track day on them!

There is a mixed bag I find, just depends on what you buy.

Wouldn't touch Delphi as said get Brembo HCs.

they are definitely not the worst of aftermarket products, usually pretty decent

i agree, there are much worst out there. if your on a budget go for the delphi ones, if not stick the brembo/tmd standard set up on there.
