BRAKE PADS !!!!!

[tyson]

I need new brake pads all round for the v6 so i thought i'd give the local Renault dealer a look. I had around the £200 maybe £300 mark in mind for the lot so you can imagine my face when he gave me the quote of £639 [smilie=icon_eek.gif] and thats without fitting.
I think i will be giving E Bay a look !

My new red stuffs are working nicely and came in at £150 all round with club members discount from Brakes4U.

Red stuffs make a good allround job, but are aggressiv to the discs, they grooves a lot.

i speak after trying the 3 set of redstuffs.

Crazy prices! This sort of thing causes so much friction with owners. :evil:

6020013035 front pads £218.47
6000009332 rear pads £338.00

6020013026 front discs £425.00
6020013025 rear discs £425.00

ive NEVER understood why the rear pads are more expensive than the fronts, doesnt make sense to me!! typical french robbery!!

On things like the Mintex pads, there is a problem with the rear pads being slightly radially oversized. Hence I'd assume that at least the OEM mega-expensive rears fitted properly. Hence I was amazed when Mike @ Rentech showed me that even my original OEM pads had a slight radial lip! So £338 and they fit no better than cheaper pads!
