OMP pads?

[Topgeartom]

Had a poke around with the wheels off today and it soon became apparent i was in dire need of some new rear pads.

Now as its the rear i dont need to be spending mega money on race pads or anything, i just want a set of new pads that will do the trick.

Thing is, ive got a few quid sat in my paypal account that i could do with spending and i noticed these on ebay. Not really found omp selling stuff anywhere else, but will these be ok?

As always with ebay and car bits im a bit wary but surely they cant be terrible?

Anyone used them?

Cheers
Tom

They'll do the trick on the rear. Are standard renault pads not cheaper?

Just got soem from Halfords etc will be the same price.

I don't rate OMP highly.

not sure mate they might be okay. Nothing wrong with halfords standard pads they do fine for the rear tbh. Although you won't be able to use your paypal fundage

I'd just go with halfrauds ones on the rears tbh, they do sell Ferodo so you could go with them.

I have used omp fast road pads before, I had them on the front of my Fiat Coupe 20vt - they weren't bad at all (once they have warmed up a bit)

Its largely the fact ive got some money sat in my paypal that drew me towards the ebay special omps. Like i say i cant imagine theyre going to fall to bits.

My friend has a motor factors so ill see what price he can do me before i go for them.

Cheers for the advice as usual everyone.

I've got some 2000 mile old EBC green stuff pads, if you wanna make an offer. Look brand new.

 

[Topgeartom]

Cheers mate, but for the limited cost id rather have the piece of mind and service history reciept of new pads

 

[DrR]

Fair enough, just i bought em along with front disks and pads just after i put new rears on, so couldn't be bother to put these on, guess they'll be used in about 20k lol.

 

[Topgeartom]

just completely abuse the current set

On the back?, lots of handbrakes turns oh and just noticed you don't have a 1*2 doh!

lol get the panic handle jammed on round those twistys!!!

Was wondering if pads from a 172 would fit!

i have got omp pads in the rear of my trophy and i find them really good even on track the pads that renault had fitted in the first place did not even get the rear wheels warm but the omp pads are 0.50 coefficient and get the rear wheels warm when on track and you can feel them breaking
