What front ferodo brake pads do I have fitted?

[Welsh.Dan]

Haven't long had the car and was gonna do the obligatory ferodo pad upgrade but looking and the back of the pads there's already ferodo fitted.

Does anyone know which ones these are? Just so I know wether to change or not. As theres lot of meat left on them

says "ferodo920
7701066410" G 172 you must be able to help me

Why do you want to change them if they have loads of meat left on them?

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Good question. I wasn't clear
Looking at doing track days. So want ones that aren't gonna cook/melt. So if these are poverty spec ones I'll be changing them.

 

[Bluebeard]

Why not go and do a track day and see how they perform?

I don't really see the point in chucking money away for no reason other than what the internet thinks.

My last car I took to llandow and fitted a set of £27 halfords front pads in the car park. The car was used by 2 of us so out all day, and we never had brake fade once.

 

[BustaMOVEs]

Afaik they are standard Renault items, so nothing special

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah. Fair point I guess. Was just worried about getting caught out on track. How did you find llandow? That prob the first track I'd be getting to as it's closest to me.

Cheers. Well that answers that.

Was excellent Ernie. Loads done to the car, top notch BBQ and beers consumed, watched the rugby and was good to catch up with everyone. You were missed. x

I had a f**king s**t day, and my early evening plans got cancelled so I should have come. :-(

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Yep just OE spec pads them mate

 

[Scrooge]

It was damn awesome Dan!

Why don't you go and have a hoon in the lanes or wherever and over brake everywhere and see if you get fade?

Thats a shame. We were plotting some spring / summer BBQs last night with the Essex lot, so we'll catch up soon bud

No point mate, I drive like an absolute granny.

 

[Scrooge]

Lol I did chuckle at that, so does Sam, far too slow to be out on track

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Thanks for the replies.

No wonder the brakes feel a little weak. Hopefully if I change they'll have a lot more bite to them.

Ordered a complete new set off g 172. Brakes fluid and hoses
