Rear disc's and pads?

[Carlv8415]

For a 182, Are there any good after market disc's/pads out there or is it best to just stick with genuine parts? Secondly, how easy are rear disc's to fit? I believe the genuine ones come with the bearings already pressed so is it just a case of sliding them on ?

Thanks

I'd just stick with genuine tbh mate. That's what I use on mine, and yes the rear bearings are already in them so pretty simple to fit.

I would get the rear disk spacers as a precautionary as I removed a set of disks last week that didnt have them fitted which delayed me 4 days when I had to order from Renault, they are only £7 a side iirc.

Don't bother with genuine, see G172 on here who will supply Brembo disks and pads which will be £101 delivered iirc, Brembo use similar high quality bearings if not the same as the oem Renault disks.

Contact g172 on here and he will sort out what you need.

So basically full rear brake kit and 2 spacers is all I need. Next investment I think

Would it be ok to run genuine on the rear and uprated pads and disc's on the front ?

No problems at all.

Yep absolutely fine, no point uprating the rear, wouldnt even uprate the pads on the front, just the discs as Brembo HC's is fine.

Thinking going genuine on the rear and Brembo disc's with DS2500 pads on the front.

Unless you're tracking it alot, don't see the point in DS2500's, bit overkill imo. (And the fact they're illegal, but there's probably more chance of winning the lottery than getting caught).

Just my 2p though.

DS2500s on a 1.2?
Just standard will be fine.

Like I said, more chance of winning the lottery, each to their own.

Sorry, thought I'd edited that I noticed after I re-read your post.

I'd changed it to say unless you're tracking it, standard is fine.

So genuine all round and braided idea to eliminate the spongy feel. Is it just me or are the brakes on the 182 s**t

 

[Adam G]

They're fine and more than adequate as standard. Maybe you just need a fluid change.
