Brembo high carbons can be found for around £40 from G 172 (a trader on here). Pads are down to what you generally use the car for but I feel the standard renaultsport brakes aren't that great.

Brembo HC disc's and OEM pad's if they are for road use I have this set up on my 172 and they work really well.

[Gardus]

I just bought brembo discs and pads (oem specs) from him.

 

[dazzasafc85]

Brembo were doing the hc's for 45 delivered and nw performance be cheapest for rears. Lots of guys on here say leave rear standard and upgrade on front as back ones do a lot. I'm just waiting to fit all my new ones ready for the summer.

Do this, he is really good :rasp:

Just to clear up I am £45 for these.

Also Brembo were never selling HC's for £45, "the brembo shop" were, which has/had nothing to do with Brembo what so ever. Infact Brembo shut that site down and threatend to stop supplying them if they didn't change their site name hence "next day".

^its getting shut down again, selling at less than trade

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Good Fred i am glad, as it pains me to sell the HC for what i do but i had to price match them.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you must be making next to nothing on them fella, i know its not worth me selling them (and postage is a t**t!)

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

I dont make a right lot on them mate as you can imagine but i had no choice really.I said i would price match the cheapest place for them so had to stand by that. Your right about postage, they're not light!
I may have to return to my original pricing, as obvioiusly dont want the same to happen to me with Brembo.

just paid £260 for rear discs and pads fitted at GG in leicester.

 

[172-Tom]

Just bought a 172 and it has had new rear pads fitted. The chap had them fitted 3 weeks ago but it hasnt been driven for 3 weeks. I didnt notice when i bought the car but its making a weird noise when when coming to a stop. Like somethings catching every revolution. You can only hear it between 5mph-0mph. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks, Tom

[G_C'lio_172]

why did brembo shut it down they would of got loads of business from them?:S

Because it undersells the brand. Brembo does not need one company starting a massive price war in the UK. Overall it could drive sales down as retailers stop selling as they cannot match the price.

 

[slindborg]

so basically, you are saying get in quick before they become pointlessly expensive lol

Spot on mate

To be fair the majority of traders on here are under RRP on these anyways, and it isn't pointless as we have overheads to cover mate.

I think you are highlighting the problem nicely. Basically this company was selling under trade price, customers then expect that price and then complain when the price is realistic and can support the retailers selling it by making enough profit for them to function.

 

[slindborg]

Not saying you cant make a profit etc, but that company had to be selling them at some sort of profit (unless they are a bit mad and use it as a tax write off for another business), so is it Brembo themselves being a bit naughty with price fixing etc?

I dont wish to start an argument, its just if one company is able to sell for a low price, then all should be 'close' (dont have to match), I mean look at the variance in price of stuff from Merlin, tweeks, indies etc.

some companies seem happy to make £1 or £2 profit and then try to sell hundreds to make it work as they squease the competition out.
