    Megane Scenic springs + brakes

    Scenic just failed MOT on broken spring at front. Have seen a full set of apex springs, -30mm, at £60 from euro performance. Anyone with any opinions on these ? Also needs rear disks. Do the megane discs have the bearing pressed in like the Clio ?

    Intermittent poor brakes on 182

    Most of the time my brakes on my 55 plate 182 (cup pack) are great, but occationally when I jump in the car they are seriously rubbish. I'm pushing really hard and not a lot is happening.

    New brakes all round!

    Pretty sure my brakes have had it, they don't really work anymore. I'm thinking of getting some Brembo HC discs for the front. Are the Ferrodo 2500's still the best pads?? Seem quite steep in price compared to the price of the brembos?? Do I just go with standards on the back as recommended?
