+1. The best road/track brake set up I've used.

I've just had my 36k service at a Reno Specialists in Sheffield, and they said I've only 20% left, and I need discs and pads, as the discs are corroded.

Would the recommendations in this thread all fit standard wheel and suspension setup, which I have on my 182, because the bloke where I had my service said that I have to be careful about uprating my brakes as some (discs/pads) will only fit with bigger wheels?

I'm really not clued up on brakes, but would like the best setup for discs and pads (fluid if necessary) for a standard 182.

thanks.

yeh these are standard size discs so you'l have no probs under the standard wheels. only an issue if your putting bigger discs / calipers on which is not really needed.

+1, heat them up and they are a brilliant break package imo.

No fade etc either and i am running dot 5.1 fluid too. Cant wait for my first RS trackday this year.

1st time I've used them, as I'm stick to death of Gordon Lamb. They did a good job.

He's got a mint Megane 230 parked outside, does trackdays and stuff, knows what he's talking about, so I felt quite confident, a Renaultsport owner servicing my Renaultsport.
