£300.00 on brakes!!

[Daz_172]

Just spent £300.00 on my brakes, ive bought

1) 4 X Goodridge Braided Brake Lines
2) Castrol Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid
3) 2 X NEW Front Renault Discs (Mine are about worn)
4) 2 X NEW Front Ferrodo DS2500 Brake Pads
5) 2 X NEW Rear EBC Kevlar Pads

and finally ive bought some 172 cup springs, having it all fitted by a friend for next to nothing, so hopefully the brakes should be s***hot.

Nice set up... How many miles have you done or whats the average milage for discs?

 

[blink172]

Should have uprated them with better discs. Probably about the same or cheaper than OE stuff

 

[Rich_16v]

Where did you get your discs from? reno?

Nah wasnt that expensive, the £300 odd price includes the price of the cup springs which cost me £50.00

total cost was

brake lines £50
rear pads £40
Front pads £80
Renault Discs £60
Brake fluid £10

So total on brakes was about £240.00 maximum.

Bought the Discs From GSF car parts

what make and part code are the OE pads? need front and rears soon! and would like the best price, naturally

 

[Mike_SE]

OR, are there better ones for a similar price?

I got the rear kevlars from k-tec and the front ferrodos from yozzasport

i didnt buy the car new, but it is an 02 172 with 30k

 

[Fred@BTM]

discs from GSF are Brembo

 

[Daz_172]

discs from GSF are Brembo

so the standard 172 discs are brembo then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope std are made by valeo or bendix

 

[Daz_172]

nope std are made by valeo or bendix

but the ones from gsf are brembo, so technically there not standard renault ones then is that what your saying?

 

[rob172cup]

so if i rang up gsf and asked for std disks they would give me brembo ones

 

[Mike_SE]

Ferodo DS2500 Brake Pads "race use only" Are these going to be any use for normal everyday driving??

 

[Daz_172]

Well ive already bought some and on the website they are shown as 280mm vented renault front discs, so while they are standard discs, they are perhaps made by brembo instead, i personally dont care as long as they look standard and work properly.

they are NOT race use only they are fast road use/race use! the ds3000 are race use only

 

[Fred@BTM]

the brembos are OE replacements, identical

GSF stock BENDIX and BREMBO, but they generally send whatever!!!

[Daz_172]

read the first post, the one you replied too, where it clearly states i also bought some..... see it, :rasp:

 

[YoShImUrA]

mind my english m8s...I'm a spanish lad...dunno what does OE and OR mean...

by the way, why not ferodos 2500 at the back??
what you picked bites more or less than the ferodos?will they long at least as the ferodos?

thanks, cheers

LOL well yes and no. but hey ho........

 

[Fred@BTM]

OE = Original Equipment, Manufactuers standard parts

no need to upgrade the rear

DS2500's are a brilliant pad

 

[YoShImUrA]

thks fred, but which are the main differences between the rear pads which he picked up and the rear 2500?

and what's OR?

thks again
