Cheep front pads

[GazM]

Hi all, i know this has been asked a million times but i have done a search and i carnt find what im looking for.

Anyway im after a set of cheep pads for my 182, not going to be doing track days so i don't want to be spending money on pagid blues or carbon loraines or anythin like that. Also im taking off the greenstuffs so they're well out of the question. I have brembo max pads with braided lines already.

Any one used these cheep mintex ones before?

Cheers, Gaz

doesn't say what they are, wouldn't bother, if you don't want greens the just put OE renault back in

 

[GazM]

yeah i was thinking about that, best just getting them from renault fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep!

 

[GazM]

how much should i be expecting to pay for them?

 

[Fred@BTM]

£42.41+vat

[GazM]

spot on cheers fella. Any others recomended for around the same price give or take 10/15?

I got cheap ass brakes for my 182 from ebay Discs and pads £50 delivered lol!

To be fair they were just as good as OEm

Just stick with OE or go about £20 more I think and get Ferodo DS2500 but I'd judt go with OE

 

[Fred@BTM]

£90 for DS2500 pads on their own

Those Mintex pads at that price would be the ones that are made of butter,stay clear.Mintex M 1144 are not to bad about £60,if not,standard are not bad at all.

 

[GazM]

dont really wanna spend £90, limit to around 60 i think

 

[Henry]

how much are GSF/ECP's front pads? they're often no different in performance to OE pads, just cheaper

 

[Fred@BTM]

i know i was refering to clio-coby's post

thought so, i heard good things about the 1144's, where can i find them?

 

[Fred@BTM]

demon tweeks

 

[GazM]

cheers fred but the 1144's are £111 from there, almost £70 for 1166's

 

[Tony Hunter]

Morego Brackley N'hants do them cheaper than that 1144's

 

[GazM]

any other options guys? Looking like its gonna be standard jobbies atm

 

[Henry]

personally, i'd just buy a set of Bendix pads from GSF/ECP. the Renault pads are Bendix; you'll be buying the same pad for less - just without the Renault branding

 

[GazM]

Ok cool thanks mate i'll do that then if they're just the same thing
