Are these the right rear discs?

[Cold fusion]

I thought that the rear disc thickness was listed as 28mm not 22mm. I have a set of new Renault rear discs from RPD, will measure them at the weekend and let you know.

The manual that James posted says 24mm thickness with a 22mm minimum for the rears.

That's what size the new Apec are;

Vented - Mountings 5
Disc diameter 300.0mm
Fitting Position: Rear
Centre diameter 61.0mm
Minimum thickness 22.0mm
Disk thickness 24.0mm
Overall height 36.5mm
Centre diameter 61.0mm
Overall height: 36.5mm

Great to have another option well done all involved [smilie=yay.gif]

A bit more info for us all.

This morning I've spoken to Livingstone Auto Parts LINK

I've informed them that it is fact that their listing of 310mm DSK2552 for the fronts is wrong. They promise to have this removed.

I've told him Apec now have rears available DSK2845. He said they are waiting for their website man to add the rears to the online system.

He also hinted the price for DSK2845 should be around £30 each disc. Would be nice if he's right, but don't hold your breath.

I paid £50 for the set so £30 each would be on the expensive side!!!! Not vs £400

 

[Brett]

Awesome! These should have been available ages ago!

Cheers for trying Paul... you do us well in many other ways. :approve:

 

[looch]

You certainly do Paul :approve:

However this might highlight to Renault that owners will do something about it if they feel they are being ripped off. Renault don't want to be left with surplus stock so a little email to them from RPD saying as a result of their refusal to offer the discs at an appropriate price, the owners banded together to get another manufacturer to produce discs much cheaper.

Just a thought

Just got mine through today. Will get a pic of them tonight but look good so far

 

[paul o]

Worth getting them to call apec as they mentionned that the systems had not been updated. Good luck.

 

[phillv6]

I ordered both front and rear discs from buycarspares.co.uk and received them yesterday £151.32 including delivery [smilie=yay.gif], I've decided to go with Redstuff pads this time, just need to find some time to get the job done now

 

[Snails]

I am struggling to find these for sale? I've searched various retailers with little luck. Does anyone know where is selling them?

 

[EEE007]

Buycarspares.com , but think you need to phone them as not shown online
Rears are £50

[thunderstarter]

Yeah, they are not showing online. If you call or visit any reputable local motor factors near you, they will be able to order these direct from APEC.

I've just ordered my rears. £26 each plus Vat. Plus a set of new pads.

 

[Matt]

So you need to call up to get these, can't buy directly online anywhere?

 

[Snails]

Cheers guys, I'll give buycarspares a call.
