Brembo Max discs (front)
Ferrodo DS2500 pads
KTR Uprated Rear Brake kit

Getting braided hoses is allways a good thing and some better fulid.

Standard front disks and pads mate, nothing wrong with them. Cost me £70 odd for both disks and pad sets, cant go wrong imo

Im running red stuff i dont need ds2500 im not really tracking it or needing crazy braking and it is so much better than the standard pads. Saying that the standard pads are more than capable.

Brembo Max ftw

Brembo Max ftw

Tbh i dint think that you will even notice the difference with standard disks and brembo max disks. Save yourself some money next time buy the more than capable standard setup. You want better brakes buy 4 pots

Brembo HC discs instead of the Max though

 

[Curley]

Brembo HCs with Ferrodo DS2500 pads here. Very good braking!

The DS2500s squeal like a b**ch though, even more so after a good drive

 

[Day]

Mine don't :S

Don't waste the extra cash on the HC discs, the normal Brembo Max ones are just as good in my experience.

 

[Tigger]

Is it not the other way around Day?
Thought HC were cheaper without the grooves and so-on

 

[AKFM]

hi there, thanks for everyones replies and advice, but unfortunately worked out that i only have 200 pound to spend on them all. So i need discs and pads for that. Any one advice with low budget? where do i get standard discs and pads from and how much?

Then you are correct!

I don't prepare the thing, i only drive it. lol

Have the groves but paid for non groves don't ask, deal not to be repeated.

Eurocarparts.

are they any good as i have a very low budget what are bearings and abs rings? will i need to get them separately somewhere else

 

[Jonny1*2]

why not go for brembo HC as they are arguably better and DS performance pads. Become a member on her and use the Cliosport section on Ktec.

About 120quid for the parts, and you could fit them yourself. Guide section has plenty of advice.

You doing just the fronts? If so bearing and ABS aren't required.

 

[AKFM]

i need to replace all of them so front and rear, so its 120 for the front so will be even more for the back.

 

[-J-]

I have just fitted DS2500 front and Rear Pads, Brembo HC front Disks and Standard Rear disks. Awesome set up IMO, stopping is so much better now.

Again, Ktec do some rears with bearings and ABS ring for around £100 in the members section.

Bet they are awesome! But I dont have that kinda money to spend. Only have 200 for them all.

 

[AKFM]

im looking at buying dsics and pads but some come with bearings and ABS rings but some dont, I have no idea what they mean, anyone care to explain??

 

[Jonny1*2]

you need the bearing so the discs rotate. You'll also need the ABS ring as your 182 has ABS.

 

[AKFM]

now i understand :approve: are they hard to fit? can i use my existing ABS rings or do i need new ones when buying discs and pads

 

[Jonny1*2]

I believe you can re use the ABS ring, but they're a pain to remove apparently. Bearings need to be pressed into the disc. Not sure how much that would set you back though.

 

[Tigger]

If you get the rear discs from K-Tec the bearings will come already pressed in

 

[AKFM]

thank you all for your replies. very much appreciated. Unfortunately, i cant afford the brembo and ferrodos so need to keep looking for alternative.

 

[Jonny1*2]

just go standard pad, and HC disc then mate, nice and cheap. The ktec rear discs are much cheaper than renault just for reference and renault rear pads are around 15quid. Go to http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for the manufactures stuff.

 

[AKFM]

thinking of getting HC front discs, standard pads on front and back and standard rear discs as i cant afford the KTR rear discs. If i buy standard rear discs, will they come with bearings and ABS rings.

 

[Tigger]

Depends where you get them

 

[AKFM]

Decided to get Brembo Front Discs, KTR rear discs and some Mintex pads as i cant afford the Ferrodos:dapprove:

thank you all for your help

 

[Jonny1*2]

1144's are supposed to be good if they are the mintex you're getting.

 

[coatesy]

u can get brembo disks and ds2500 pads from ktec for £180

 

[Jonny1*2]

his budget is 200quid total for front and rear though.

 

[D1CKY]

Tbh i dint think that you will even notice the difference with standard disks and brembo max disks. Save yourself some money next time buy the more than capable standard setup. You want better brakes buy 4 pots

Ok i'll get the standard discs out the shed and refit them will i ?

:rasp:

 

[Jonny1*2]

lol

 

[AKFM]

LOL

 

[AKFM]

they are not the 1144s as they are quite expensive too. more than ferrodos lol. shall i buy standard ones or these mintex ones.

heres the link

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-...3|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

surely these mintex ones have to better than standard:S
