1.6 16v brake pads

[AhmedRSi]

I dont need to change mine. But i planned to do something with the brakes, doubt ill do 4 pots so just planning ahead

As above, whats the best ones to go for? Wouldnt care if I replaced them with oem but would prefer some better stopping power (not that it isnt good anyway!)

- Ultimax?
- Green stuff?
- omp?
- mintex?

Any others?

I went for Mintex pads and disks on the fronts, for £50 I'm happy with them.

Lol aye, it's your fault I want braided lines.

I was suitably impressed by them to go and buy a set for my car, better than OE anyway.

ive got ferodo's ds pads on mines atm. cant fault them tbh although a bit dusty sometimes when youe hard on them.

Different kinds of calipers, most are Lucas on the front, if you go and have a look at your calipers it should say something like TSW and that means that you need the lucas disks and pads.

 

[AhmedRSi]

so mine should be the cheaper ones? is that a good price?

woo hoo if so

 

[Beef-Mc]

It's a good price likes, I would double check what you have as you know how Renault like to chuck on random parts.
