any difference in ph1 and ph2 sport brakes??

[Struggler]

im basically asking if these will fit a ph1 sport!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINTEX-FR...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5071005050367858189

theyre listed up as for a ph2 172, but i didnt think there was any difference in the brake callipers so they should fit fine!!

i know many people do not rate these brakes, but im trying to stick to a budget and cannot stretch to Ds2500 just yet!!
im going to see how i rate these and possibly upgrade when it comes to it!

cheers!

yeah same, but i really wouldn't bother with the 1144's show them any form of abuse and they'll fade

 

[Struggler]

thanks,

is there anything better you can suggest for the same kind of price range? (ie sub £80)

the car is mainly going to be a fast road with the occasional track day!! pads are going with brembo HC's

 

[Dave Hester]

Rs2500 are worth the extra £30

 

[Struggler]

really though?? when running slick tyres or working the ABS, i would agree,

but im running road parads spec 2's and no abs!

M1155s are good. tbh 1144's are absolutely fine for the road

 

[Struggler]

also, ds2500 are not £30 more, theyre £55 more

even m1155's are £40 more, i already miss judge the price of pads in my budget as it is!!

Surprisingly tweeks were the cheapest for DS2500s for me last time I bought a set, do some ringing around and ask for the best price rather than relying on the advertised price. Sometimes you can get a bit knoecked off. In my case (18 months ago) they were £30 cheaper than everywhere else I tried, just by contacting their sales department directly.

 

[Dan519]

Are you planning on going on track at all? If not just normal Pagid disks and pads is a great setup. £99 for both from me

I've tried the budget end of so-called "upgraded" pads and the mintex 1144's and ebc yellowstuff were both fine pads... but, seriously, no better at resisting fade than the O/E brembo's I chose this time. The wife has O/E pagid on her puma and they stand up to fairly heavy road use when I get to drive it too.

I would not recomend spending double O/E prices to get a SLIGHTLY better initial bite (cos that is the only difference I can tell). Stick to quality O/E stuff or buy propper performance pads, IMHO

Go for DS2500's I use them all round now my 172. They're worth the extra and last really well. Ideal for what your using the car for. Mine is the same,mostly fast road and a few trackdays. Also use DOT5 fluid for a better pedal and no fade when the fluid gets hot.

I have 1144s fitted, for the road they're ok for normal driving, I've gave them some greif with standard 182 wheels and they fade coupled up to HCs after 10-15 mins,

With my ozs fitted i've done the same they were fine i guess the standard wheels dont allow for much ventilation and help contain the heat! I only got them because they were on offer (£50), I wont be replacing them when the disks wear out though which wont be long they've pretty much paggered my disks over 2 year, Still have 60% on the pads!

I'l be fitting the DS2500s and new HCs next, Standard Renault is on the rear with Braided lines all round
