[Austin-182]

Anyone know what would be bet out of them both?

 

[DrR]

On the front? Just get the Brembo

 

[Dan]

Brembo HCs FTMFW also cheaper then oem at £41.50 from nextdaybrakes.com

 

[DrR]

hope thats nextdaybrakes.com?

Yes it is lol

Moment of retardation I'm afraid :S

 

[Austin-182]

Yes just the front, yea ther about half the price of renault but wondered if they were as good as genuine?
What pads would you sugest, genuine pads be fine, or a slight upgrade?

 

[sideways danny]

I've moved over to Pagid disks and pads when standard (ie not track) is specified

genuine is high carbon and thats why the brembo discs are too.

 

[Austin-182]

Looks like you guys are the cheapest (Kam) whats delivery price?

 

[Dan]

I went for oem pads with mine for road stops rather well tbh o and braided lines and dot 5.1 fluid at the same time

 

[Austin-182]

Cool mate ots only road used so thats what im thinking of doing, ive got some braided lines ready to go on too.what make fluid did you use? I hear super blue stuff is meant to be great?

Braded lines and fluid make it loads better loads more feel through the brakes tbh
Super blue is what most use but I actually don't know what's in mine (brand wise) as Birchdown put in there stuff I just got asked what rating I wanted it lol

 

[Austin-182]

Ah rite lol.my discs and pads were last changed 2 years ago, wasnt to sure how long id get out of them but ive noticed a slight squeel lately when braking so prosume they need changing again

 

[Andy_con]

ive got HC on the front with ds2000 pads, its a cracking setup

i noticed this as im going to get mine done by you soon. what are the pagid disks and pads like? didnt want to skimp then regret it

 

[sideways danny]

Very good or I wouldn't use them. Pagid are OEM for a lot of top end manufacturers

 

[Adamm.]

nice sound good. but im guessing they dont hold up on track well? compared to the ferodo pads and brembo hc disks.

 

[sideways danny]

well HC disks are not in any way uprated AT ALL, very common misconception, they're completely standard. Pagid disks are as good as you will get. For track I'd recommend a different pad for sure

 

[Kam.]

there's a misconception regarding Brembo HC discs. They only make them HC if the standard ones are!

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a lump of cast iron, any disc will do, doesn't matter who makes them

 

[Adamm.]

il probably use the pagid disk with ferodo pads then cheers.

 

[Fred@BTM]

use ANY disc, it doesn't matter

 

[Chapppers11]

I'm guessing it only matters if they are vented/drilled Fred?

 

[Gouldy]

my discs are s**t.

stupid drilled and dimpled messes that the previous owner of my car fitted. brembos are on the way though so happy days

not entirely true, there's some seriously soft crap like EBC that I wouldn't touch, but generally yes, Apec, ATE, Pagid, Brembo, any reasonable manufacturers disks are fine. I just choose Pagid
