Nothing wrong with the Renault ones that come as standard
Ask Karl for price

 

[ChurchiesCup197]

I just got a quote from Elite in Rainham £130 redstuff fitted £200 front and back. Renault want £220 for fronts only.

 

[R1chard]

don't forget you may need pins aswell for the fronts so budget another £40-£60 for them.

 

[marky-f1]

i put redstuff on front about 11 months ago and they never seemed to bed properly or i may have give it some to early and my disks are warped so going all standard again at end of month

well rembered

I run redstuff, u need to go real easy for 300+ miles to bed in but they really work well if you do it properly, i luv my set i got atm.

Decent cold bite, never fade and almost zero brake dust!

is that dust free from daily use Ben???

I rate ferodo ds2500's

 

[luke3]

I'm going to get 2500s as well!

 

[MikeH]

Redstuff are based on cars over 200 bhp, unfortunately most of the 197/200s dont come close to that power standard especially for the runin period, which is probably why only ben, woody and the more aged/experienced drivers have got the best out of them

I have had the Ferodo DS2500 pads fitted along with some braided lines and Motul RBF600 brake fluid very recently. I have to say I am well impressed by the upgrade.

 

[smiler]

im alsao going for the ds2500 pads next,had the red stuff on my last 197 along with grooved front disks and braided lines worked absolutely brilliant and as ben r-1 says brake dust is very minimal

 

[BenW]

I'd recommend ds2500 to anyone. As a track pad I'd also really rate carbon lorraines.

 

[luke3]

Do ds2500 make a significant difference over standard??

 

[Willis]

Never had any problems on road or track with the OEM Brembo HC discs and OEM Brembo/Ferodo pads with HEL Hoses & Millers Oils Racing Brake Fluid 300+.

The standard setup is a setup that many other car owners would pay £1500+ to have on their lesser-braked cars.

But, I am intrigued to try DS2500 as I've used them on other cars to good effect.

in a word - yes
