Rear brakes 172 cup

[snick01]

basically a friend has a 172 cup and she reckons the rear pads need changing aswell as the disks.

she went to a garage and she said that the mechanic said the whole rear brake is one big part and it will all need changing. im not too good mechanically but i can change brake pads on my valver etc, not too bad with things like.

anyway she was quoted around £300 for parts and labour to do this, is this about right? sounded very steep to me. also i thought the rear brake setups on 1*2's were the same as valvers.....

any answers would be appreciated.

cheers

NWPerformance are doing genuine rear disks for £150 fitted.

Standard pads arent expensive tbh, especially if your not bothered about genuine renault

So id say the price is steep yep!

The man was meaning the discs; when the discs need changing , the bearings will have to too.. This because the rear discs have the rear bearings pressed onto them, they come as one part . I think this was misunderstood by the lady

Yeah, the NWPerformance deal comes with new bearings in the disks too

Good price.

They're £115 supply only from Renault.
