Discs and pads - what to buy?

[tyssen172]

Hello people im hoping you can help me.
I need new discs and pads for both the front and rear of the car.
I just want to know whats best to put on?? I have someone to fit them so just need to purchase. I dont want anything too cheap but then cant afford anything silly expensive.
Any recommendations would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Interesting.

Pm G172 (sp). He's the man for brakes these days hun.

Front = Brembo HC + Ferodo 2500.

Back = Just any OEM disc and halfords pads.

Don't skimp on the front brakes, back doesn't do much so no need to break the bank there.

arent Bremo like seriously expensive?
I thought this about rear too, I had them (discs and pads on rear) done 18 months ago and theyve gone already, is this normal?

Brembo HC disks are cheap. what has worn out the rear, pads or disks?

Ive had both front tyres replaced within 4 months of each other, taken to different garages and both mechanics said my brakes were shocking and need replacing.....I asked which and they said front and rear. My fella also had a look the other day and said they need doing, he isnt up on RS's though so wouldnt know which discs and pads are the best to buy

Brembo HCs are like £50 delivered for a front pair. Mucho cheapo.

The backs on my 182 are brembo disks and brembo pads. Cost £100 for the pair brand new from g172.

The fronts I have just replaced. I can't remember how much the mintex pads were but tue brembo front disks were £40 iirc from kam racing delivered.

I hope this helps

£40 for a disc?

Fml!

£40 for a disc?

Fml!

for a set of two discs and delivery...£45 from us. Brembo front discs come in sets of two. I certainly could not be bothered to box break and sell them individually

 

[Gally]

£400 a pair! Fml!
