Replacing the standard brake parts like for like

[Cookie]

It seems everyone on here just dumps Brembo HC's and Ferodo DS2500's on their 1*2's, so I'm going to be different just stick to standard stuff, since it's done me fine for 2 and a half years so far.

Does anyone know the best place to just pop in to pick up all the bits? I have Renault garages near me, Halfrauds and probably a ECP nearby.

Part numbers etc would be appreciated

I'm replacing all discs and pads

Aren't uprated bits pretty much the same price?

I'd get the rear discs from renault as they come fully prepared i.e abs ring attached and bearing already pressed... I bought my front discs from All parts and they were something silly like £40 for the pair, Pads for front and rear i bought there too and were something like £25 for front and £20 for rear... Need a hand fitting mate ?

They might be Warren, but I've had enough of calling my insurance company this week

Is it worth getting all of it from Renault, or are they silly money?

I should be fine Ross, got a mate coming over once I figure out where to get the parts from

I've recently replaced my discs with Brembo HC as they are cheaper than Renault and highly regarded but stuck with Renault pads. I didn't want squealing brakes that come with DS2500. The OE pads I have are Ferodo and seem more than adquate for enthusiastic fast road driving.engine

I didn't declare brake pads/discs. I don't declare if I change my tyres,so why brakes?

Haven't actually bought anything yet

Went to Renault to find out prices.. they wanted 99 quid + vat for the pair of front disks, and 44 quid + vat for the front pads

(Ferodo) DS-2500 squeal?

I guess you got these mixed up with Carbone Lorraine!

Yes, from what I've read on DS2500 on this and other forums, low speed break squeal is very common with this pad too.

Mines don't squeal on my Brembo HC rotors / discs.

Ferodo DS-2500 pads that is...

I got std renault discs and mintex pads for the rear for £120 from ebay
I image you could get std pads and discs for the front for about £80 I paid £105 with brembo HC's and std pads from GSF

Didn't want the hassle of squeaks and the extra brake dust..
