172 Discs And Pads All Round!

[C2WAK]

Hi all,
Im going to replace Discs and Pads all round on my Clio, can anyone recommend what to put on please? and the cheapest place to buy them from. Im not after paying silly money but obviously dont want to put crappy ones on there.
Thanks,

Brembo HC's (discs) from GSF or *insert your reseller here*

Standard pads, Renault.

As above, but ebc yellow pads. The latest ones works from cold and impossible to fade on the road.

£ 123.32

From GSF for the fronts.(greentufff pads)

I got Tar.ox sport japan & fast road pads all round and they're the nuts, probably eat the pads during one track day but ace for road use.
Dont rate the brembo HC ones after seeing em in action.

 

[Tom]

How can you not "rate" std vented discs.

This leads to my next question, am i best of replacing the ABS drive train? or just remove them from my old discs?

 

[RichMcc]

Because the ones I have weewee all over them imo?
And brembo HC are not standard fitment, they're aftermarket and I pooed my undercrackers in a car that had them?

Yes if they can get the ABS ring off the old disc then it can go onto the new one, else you'll need a new one from renaults.
You'll also need the rear bearings pressed into the disc.

 

[Millsy]

what? so if i take off my discs that have abs i also have to take the abs ring off too?

 

[RichMcc]

To clarify
On my 172 "rear" discs they had to swap the abs ring and press the bearings in, fronts are straight swap iirc
Not sure about a 1.6

 

[Millsy]

phew yeah iirc from my older clio it was just a staright swap, had problems with abs rings recently and dont need anymore lol!

back on topic

[Fred@BTM]

[C2WAK]

Ive found them BREMBO MAX discs £90 for the pai delivered... Are these ok for road use cause i wont be tracking my clio... I have a GSXR1000 for that sort of thrill!. Also what Pads should i use with these?

Most will say these in conjunction with EBC greenstuff are more than adaquet for most of us I have Tarox G88 discs with EBC greenstuff ready to fit. If I hadn't got the G88's for nearly half price then I would be putting Brembo Max on mine as i've heard many good reviews on here.
