Recommended bear brake pads and discs

[BennMurray]

Just removed my calipers and discs ready to prepare for new discs and pads. Iv got a 182 and just wandering what the best replacement would be. Dont use the car on track, just on the road so no need for anything major.. just an improvement from the orginal discs and pads which I thought were quite poor!!

Thanks

Have you searched in this section? Gets discussed every day mate

Stick with OEM.

You want better breaking upgrade your fronts.

^^^As Ben said gets covered alot. plus standard pads will do fine!

What about a sticky at the top of the page with all brake options/setups/upgrades in

 

[BennMurray]

where is the best place to buy them from then?? k-tec seem expensive!!

If its just a road car and cost is a big issue, just get local autofactor ones, they'll still be an improvment over old corroded and worn out ones you removed.

Genuine with bearings pre-pressed ONLY for rears. Non genuine bearings are made of chocolate.
Motrio pads are fine, rears do very little

I have K tec fast road on mine and they work a treat and are not expensive !

Brembo shop.

Very reasonable, from memory the rears are dearer than the front's :S

 

[Dan519]

for reference, a pair of genuine rears with bearings inclulded cost less than a pair of genuine bearings on their own.

i paid 114 inc vat for rear discs and pads from renault. found them to be cheaper than non-genuine.

thank you all for the comments!! much appreciated. Managed to get a set of discs (not inc. bearings) and pads for just under 80 quid from a local dealer
