Brakes

[Vandella]

hey all, general discussion thread..

at the moment i have some drilled discs, not sure what brand but they were good, used with renault pads. unfortunatley now on their way out.. ive seen some brembo drilled discs but they are £220 ish..

does anyone use the brembo max discs? if so what are they like.. they seem to be in my price range at the moment, and with new pads should be looking about £150..

question or debate really is which combination of discs and pads do people use and prefer if money isnt an issue..

im aware that alot of people have uprated kits..such as bigger discs, calipers etc.. for those who runs kits like this your input is also welcome as i'd like to consider such an upgrade at some point..

but mainly after info and reviews using standard calipers and disc size (unless the discs size can vary with the standard calipers..)..

hopefully i havnt rambled and this all makes sense!! lol

Cheers in advance!!

Im all about standard! Just make sure what you have is working correctly.

My Cup car got treated to all new brakes this year - I went with Brembo High Carbon front discs, Rally design Group N rears, with standard renault pads and Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads at the front from Ktec.

The front pads were the biggest expense for me and i had to faff around to fit the missing anti rattle clips.

I could not fault them at all when used at Snetterton and Oulton Park.

Don't fanny about with expensive discs, OE items are fine, it's the pads that are important. Just don't buy ebc products, they're just plain shite

I've got fitted Brembo HC's. I find them more than good enough

Brembo Max are nice discs. I've used them once or twice, and liked them, plus they are not stupidly expensive! try them with Ferodo DS2500's or the ones I have on my car which I cant remember the name off right now...except mine are more extreme versions but okay for road.

If you ever do the rears, make sure you get them with the bearings pressed already.

Mintex M1144's are the pads I was thinking of.

EBC grooved front discs and green stuff pads on mine and i find them excellent.
