Time for new brakes. Which ones? mk2 ph2 1.6

[ramsey374]

I need new brakes so decided its time to upgrade to something better than standard.

I have a 1.6 mk2 ph2. not sure what to get and from where?

my car has rear callipers and disks (some newer 1.6s come with these)

Help ?

Done searches on here and net and not sure what's best and good valaue for money. Keep it standard if needs be just need some idea of where I should be looking and which sites can be trusted

im also looking into this mate so id be interested also if anyone has any ideas.

I don't think anyone wants to help us

anyone know where to get a good set of brakes and where's the cheapest place to get them. No eBay rubbish just some affordable decent brakes

Does your car have any significant upgrades? If not then its really just worth sticking to OE pads from Renault and decent fluid.
Unless the car is producing modest power (i.e enough to necessitate needing fast road or track orientated pads) then its not worth wasting your money.

If you do insist on them look for Ferodo DS200's or Pagids. Avoid EBC's.

I'm happy to stay standard where's the best place to get them from (just standard) and what prices are we looking at?

Not to sound a c**k but this has been covered endless amounts of time on here mate.

 

[ramsey374]

I'm sure there's more pointless threads on here just search didn't help me and got bored of searching.

I'm going to go for the euro car parts just standard items.

I need to cover all 4 corners. Are the rear pads and discs the same as the front?

 

[The Boosh!]

No point in buying upgraded pads/ disks fir the rears mate. Oem rear, just upgrade fronts !

 

[ForceIndia]

It's a 1.6, so standards all round is all you need. The pads and discs front to rear are different.

 

[ramsey374]

I'm happy for standard all round just wanted to know where to get them from. Didn't want to end up with some cheap crap brakes becuase I dint know what to get.

Front is fine. I know what to get for the front but back unsure as my car has disks and not drums And nothing listed on the car site link a few posts above

 

[ForceIndia]

GSF car parts, dotted around the country and the do mail order. Phone them and they'll make sure you get the right bits.
