Discs and pads

[Luda]

How much fluid would you need for a complete changeover?

 

[richandgem]

Depends how easily the air comes out lol

1.5 litres will be enough

I was £100 to change all the pads, change the lines and change the fluid.

£100 including new pads!? You did very well then matey!

Motul RBF 600 dot 4 going on ebay for under £12 a bottle. Bargain!

Link? I can't seem to see these?

No it was just labour I'm afraid. I supplied all the parts. Pads from TwingoGeeko, lines and fluid off ebay.

Cheers Graeme. I thought you meant under £12 incl. p&p. Still a good price though.

Im thinking of going with:

HEL lines
RBF-600 fluid
DS2500 pads
std Brembo discs

Think al be trying the DS2500 pads once my current (New) OEM pads are finished. People seem to rave about them being better than standard so they must be good.

Thats kinda my line of thinking too! I dont think they are meant to squeal either? Has anyone used the anti-squeal shims that you can stick on the back of the pads?

I wouldn't honestly both with the HEL lines, we gave my cars brakes a LOT of abuse today and there isn't honestly anything I would change about them. Bog standard except for grooved discs.

Oh, and the reason for going for OE discs is that they come with the ABS tone wheels and bearings already fitted.

The 2500's on our 182 are amazing.

I'd definitely recommend braided lines, they don't increase braking power, they just change the feel and remove some of the give in the pedal
