brake pad choices

[Lozza-p]

im after some new front pads ive got the hc discs just need pads

i only really use the car to and from work and a few little blasts not really on track days.

ive got a few choices

genuine renault pads

ferodo premier pads

mintex pads

or anyother suggestions except ds2500 i cant afford them

 

[Tony Hunter]

Mintex M1144's will do a good job,will stand up to a few blasts.

 

[Lozza-p]

Are they good from cold as I drive a 40 mile round trip aday most on motorway do don't get to much heat in them

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes,I wouldn't use any pads that need warming up as we have crossroad just down from us and my missus uses the car every day,I hate for her to come a cropper.

agree with Tony. They're what i'd reccomend for a road car

Are they £110 or am I looking at that wrong as really can't afford them

 

[Tony Hunter]

You should be able to pick them up for about £70.

Time to start searching I'm afraid.

[slindborg]

almost any motorfactors that sell mintex can get you 1144/55/66/77's too.

 

[Lozza-p]

anyone know the part number im looking for for 1144's
?

From what you say you use the car for, I'd stick with standard...there's no need to upgrade, and standard cost about 50p a set as well.

i recently bought some ebc ultimax, affordable and had some good reviews from what i have read. i dont touch the track, just normal daily driving

I went off in an early morning 2 years ago and up the mountain road featured in the "Transfagarasan" episode from Top Gear. it was some 10 km of hard driving towards the top but the OE pads worked well. that was maybe because there were about 10 degrees outside but anyway.. So I'm guessing that they hold up pretty well even if abused a little.
if you're on a tight budget I think you won't go wrong with them
