Brake Upgrade Today.

[Grandpa Munster]

For the past 2/3 weeks I have had very spongy brakes. I bled the system with no inprovement.

So, today I have fitted Goodridge Hoses (thanks RiceRocketUk) EBC Greenstuff pads and Brembo High Carbon discs, aswell as new brake fluid again.

All I can say is wow. What an improvement. After just 5 miles, my brakes are better than they have ever been.

I must say a big thankyou to Mark5290 (my Brother) for his help today.

The change of brake fluid is responsible for most of you "upgrade".

I changed the brake fluid 2 weeks ago with no improvement. I was still on original discs and pads at 9700 miles.

My original hoses "felt" like they were expanding under braking.

That sounds like a good combination of pad/disc, Big Lee and myself searched the forum and read many posts regarding disc/pad combinations, the opinion was that the greenstuff pads and brembo HC discs were a good upgrade from the standard Renault items, also Big Lee got a pretty good deal on the pads and discs and was able to collect them locally.

I've just gone for the EBC Green/Brembo HC setup, just without the hoses and it feels much better.
I haven't really given them a hard test drive yet but that will come soon!
