Discs and pads

[Doug6488]

Evening all!

Time has come to change my brakes.
Anyone got suggestions on which to buy, I will be mainly using the car for everyday with the occasional track day in the new year.

For what you want id have thought the oem setup would be fine.

 

[Doug6488]

What's the best place for price to get them Chris?

 

[Raptor6767]

DS2500 pads, you can use OEM rotors, and Motul RBF660 brake fluid.

Second the ds2500 pads and I have the 330mm big break kit, works fine for normal driving and perfect on the track

mintex m1144 pads and emtec discs..works a treat for me...and motul 660 break fluid

I have Tarox disks (F2000 I think), DS2500 pads, Motul RBF660 fluid and Hel braided lines and they were faultless at the 'Ring, same couldn't be said of the rears though (cost a lot to sort at Nurburgring prices too).
[MENTION=1272]Fernandez[/MENTION] sorted out a few of the items above for me.

Just used these guys for my rears

Mega quick delivery and good prices too.

I've got the Brembo HC front disks with DS2500 pads at front
OEM Rears with Brembo pads
Superblue Fluid

Don't use the Superblue in a mk3 Clio, plenty of info already on here but it will almost certainly cause a squeaky clutch.

Using that site [MENTION=4849]Jcs[/MENTION] said, I'm saving over £140 over ktr prices [emoji2]

 

[Doug6488]

How many bottles of 500ml fluid would I need?

 

[Rogue]

Two will be fine

What fluid you going for?

 

[Doug6488]

Motul 660 as recommended by a few on here.

I've heard it causes a squeaky clutch too.

I use the AP racing formula dot 5.1 fluid with Goodridge braided hoses(stainless fittings). And have ds2500 and 2 piece 330mm discs on order atm.

No issues with super blue fluid in my car...

 

[J_gadd4]

330 mm discs + ds2500 on the front
R26R rear discs + red stuff on the back ,
just bedding them but they look mean !!

keep an eye on the rear reds...they have a tendency to fall apart

 

[Doug6488]

Ended up with brembo hc fronts with ds2500 pads and oem rears with brembo pads.

Hopefully get them fitted before I go back to work.

 

[TB Rich]

Motul 660 as recommended by a few on here.

660 has a poor wet point value (vs 600), so keep it changed/fresh

No issues with super blue fluid in my car...

Lucky, but that very much seems the expception rather than the norm. For anyone buying new just go with Motul RBF600 or 660 (or Castrol SRF I beleive is fine in the mk3, and also very good) - depending on use and how frequently you intend to change etc.

This used to happen years ago however EBC have reformulated the pad material and developed a new backing plate to ensure this doesn't happen
