Hi, after burning the stock pads during Renault Sport Track Days on Red Bull Ring last monday I have decided to try CL5+ (they were new pads with maybe 1000km - no track driving before). Is here somebody who has already done the Pads exchange on his own? What tools do I need? I checked youtube videos for brembo pads exchange on older impreza`s but was not able to find one on MRS. thx in advance
Just fronts? Two minutes max. Knock the two brake pins out with a punch, retract pistons if required, replace with new pads.
that`s what I saw on the impreza replacement. currently I am about 300km from my car so was not able to check if it`s the same "technology" or not. I as well saw some kind of cliper between the two pins. thanks for the answer
Keep your eye on the CL RC5+ pads mate Notorious for falling to pieces , ie coming away from the backing plate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
well, i have read something about it. but the time has come to replace the stock once. I baked in 2 months 2 sets of them :-/ will check them regularly
if you actually have the pads now, keep an eye on them, they were fine on mine for a good while. If you haven't bought them yet, change to rc6, awesome pads.
so today morning i found some time to exchange the pads. everything went fine till the point I took the first old pad out. I have several question. 1. is this how they should look? to me they look a bit cooked 2. i was able to get of the thin think on the old one with the arrow, but they don`t pass to the new CL5+. can I use it without it? 3. after changing the pads and hitting the highway to bed the pads, i found out that the issue is in the rotors. as the whole car is shaking a bit and no improvement comparing to the old pads. surprise for me is that the steering wheel is not shaking, only the car under 50% breaking. this happen 1 month ago to me and they changed my pads and everything was fine till i hit the circuit. any ideas what to do? besides buying ne rotors?
How are you trying to do it? With a proper punch? try heating them up, if not they will need to be cut out
Yeh I'm using proper tools, might have to use a heat gun. So far it's just flattened the end of the pin! Bloody Renaultsport!
