Cheaper rear brakes

[marc1330]

Recieved my rear discs and pads today. The discs come with bearings fitted and they do seem good quality (Prob made of cheese!!). Didnt fancy paying renault prices seeing im told the rear brakes dont take much punishment on the clio.
Brakes international £110 inc Vat and delivery for discs and pads.

Do you have a linky?

Do you have a 172 cup mate? I thought none of these had abs or was it just some?

Proper renault ones were only £130 or so from GDI when I did mine last year.

None have ABS but I think they still share the same discs just dont use the ABS ring or something.

Yeh they don't do much tbh, mine are proper rusted!

 

[tim124]

they dont do anything on a cup, i dont think they are even plumbed in...

 

[Cupster]

^^ Hence the she-hite handbrake tbh!

^ Indeed, most pathetic handbrake I've ever encountered on any car...

I was looking at these - look a good price then buy decent pads

what diffeence does abs make to the handbrake? :S

Get your cables adjusted.

 

[Ads_172]

No idea, but it's awful. Have had the cable adjusted several times, a new caliper, the discs and pads are pretty much brand new and it's still crap.

No difference, we were saying that the the 1*2 rear brakes hardly do any of the work, very noticable by an almost complete lack of handbrake workage.

 

[Jay Payne]

ah i see, sorry it was the way i read it. I thought you all ment abs

 

[Ads_172]

Ah, no, not the abs part - just the 1*2 brakes! And, as the Cup is more front-biased, I imagine it's even worse again...

£110 including the bearings?

At the moment they appear to be out of stock as they were when i first tried to order them but within a day they had emailed me and they were back in stock.
I fitted them the other day and so far so good. I paid £110.84p for discs, pads and delivery with the bearings fitted so it was a straight forward off with old on with the new.
