new discs, new pads???

[plymcl172]

I need new rear discs so could sound like a silly question, my pads are quite new so does new discs mean new pads aswell?

Any help would be great

For how cheap pads are I would suggest doing both.
Also you pads would have shaped to your last discs so just change them

 

[plymcl172]

Yeah ok thanks for that. Had a feeling that was the case didn't think of the shape of the pad

 

[Advikaz]

I would tend to do both to be honest.

 

[clio37]

Yea if your disc are worn uneven or slightly warped they will shape the pad . Then you would be putting a wonky worn pad onto a new flat surface.

Generally it's new discs new pads.

Speak to G172 on here for good prices.

Rears you'll want Genuine OEM ones so the bearing is pressed in.
Cheapest I found is ebay

 

[plymcl172]

No thanks. No e bay crap is going on my car. You get what u pay for

 

[James28]

Did you not read my post?
I said get Genuine OEM Renault rear discs as they already have the bearing pressed in and ABS rings. Brembo's don't.
I found Ebay to be the cheapest for sourcing the OEM RENAULT rear discs, not EBAY CHEAPO discs:

Such as these:

Or with pads as well:

Cheap eBay rears with bearings pressed in are completely fine

^^ Brembo have recently starting making the rear discs with both bearings and abs rings, as well as the sets that come with the bearings.

Useful to know, how do the prices compare?

 

[plymcl172]

So are the abs rings easy to get off the old rear brakes?

Just they don't come with them on the brembos I have on my list

 

[James28]

Just buy OEM ones so they're a straight swap lol. Rear brakes do nothing on FWD cars anyway.

 

[plymcl172]

I know that. I wasn't asking about how well the rear brake works was I ?
