Standard brakes

[Windy172cup]

Got standard brakes on the clio. Isit just mine or are they s*** when you need to use them at 80mph upwards???

Just yours? Found my brakes were pretty good standard.

Also, you shouldn't be doing 80mph so there's your problem

Mine are really good, but they used to be really bad until I changed the brake fluid.
Worth doing since it only costs a few groats.

I'd try..

Ferodo DS2500 pads
Brembo HC discs
Braided lines
and some decent brake fluid.

Well of course 4 pots

I just listed a decent standard (ish) set up

What set-up are you going for then Bodge?

The ol K-tec kit

Ferodo pads (there in my boot, so god knows what they are) and standard discs. Couldnt find any high performance ones!

Mine are the same but thats coz they are foooked. I'd suggest brembo hc disks, pf97 pads, braided lines and dot 5.1 fluid. Well thats what i'm getting.

It has happened occasionally. I'm more a cruise control on 70 man nowadays

if you don't want to spend on a full kit like these above, try changing the fluid/front pads (in that order)

 

[_WILL_]

Mine have always been fine, even when discs we falling apart (literally). Have changed to brembo hc discs and ferodo front pads now (not 2500's tho). Seem really good but I don't do track days, just fast road use.

What is the problem with yours? Not pulling you up or pulling to one side or something?

I find the standard brakes to be spot on, I am more smooth than a heavy breaker anyway so plenty good enough for me.

ok cheers. Try changing the fluid i think, its only when i brake hard that the pedal feels like itsd bouncing ever so slighty, the pads are only 2 months old. I'll try the fliud.
