Right, I'm just pricing up some brakes all round so I'm just checking I've got the right parts and reasonable prices. Please let me know any thoughts on the parts or if you think they.


Fluid:
ATE Blue
Edit: or Motul RBF600 http://www.k-tecracing.com
(see below for comments on fluid, thanks)


Rear Discs (will need two of these):
Rears from GSF

Front Dics:
Front Discs from NextDayBrakes


Front Pads:
Front Discs from NextDayBrakes


Rear Pads Rear Pads from GSF

Any help/advice welcome...

look fine to me

rear disc abs rings are actually part of the oil seal bearing...

cannot see many discs not being supplied without these nowadays

dont forget 36mm socket for hub nut :coffee:

 

[Robo_#1]

Perfect, thank you very much Mr.Foxspeed

I'll probably pick up the fronts at the end of this month and do the rears next month at a guess. Just not sure if I should do the fluid or not. I had it changed about 3/4months ago so might leave that a little while, get the new pads/discs in then change that if I still feel its necessary. Not 100% confident doing it myself as I've never done brake fluid change before.

Thought about braided brake lines Rob?

 

[Robo_#1]

I have, so I might do that swap if/when I change the fluid next. Mines feeling a little spongey after this weekends antics, which is a pain because its pretty fresh fluid.

Although the crap feeling and poor lap times could have something to do with my discs looking like walkers crinkle crisps right now...

I would avoid the ATE Superblue personally. I'm going to change mine back shortly.

I second this.

 

[ken182]

What fluid would you recommend instead?

I'm about to fit braided lines and uprate the fluid

 

[Chrisgti6]

Motul 600 maybe?

 

[Gez]

Jesus, those front pads are cheap!?

 

[marshall]

Why megane pads? If you select clio ones they are cheaper are they not?

 

[Robo_#1]

I think the Clio pads listed on NDB are the wrong type from what I've read.

 

[Gez]

Awwww eck! I feel ripped off paying £60 for front brembo pads now

 

[Robo_#1]

You'll know for next time though Gez

Do you really think the fluid could be responsible rather than just coincidence?

Both Chris and I have squeaky clutch pedals and both started just after a brake fluid change to ATE.

Trust us, don't bother with ATE, it's just not worth the risk of having the squeak! It's really really annoying!

Saying that, because it's blue it makes it so much easier to change.

Funny you guys say this I've just had ATE put in and got a squeaky clutch pedal thought it was my trainer rubbing on pedal lol is this ok?

 

[Gez]

Best place to buy the brake fluid?

 

[adam1942]

with the car filled and the CF Lorraine pads the car was amazing.

There are at least 3 of us that within 24 hours of changing to this fluid we have developed a squeeking clutch pedal. It must be related. I'll find out when I get round to changing the fluid back again.
