Are these the OEM pads for the 265 cup just without the Renault branding on them? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BBBVJ2A/?tag=rsmeg-21 Says in the description; [TABLE="width: 874"] [TR] [TD="class: label, bgcolor: #F5F5F5"]OEM Part Number[/TD] [TD="class: value"]RENAULT:410603303R, RENAULT:7701208218, RENAULT:8671016704[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
You sure Mike? Amazon says they are for the MK III One of the questions on the item also says it is for MK III
Positive mate. They're the wrong shape and too small. I measured my RC6 so you could see the size and shape difference
Not the Ferodo so may not help, but these are the Brembo pads I've just put in my 250 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AJTQNWQ/?tag=rsmeg-21 Nathan.
How you finding the brembo pads nath? Not long fitted a set on mine from ebay, i dont find the initial bite as i did on ebc yellow stufff.
Let me get back to you on that! I've barely put 200 miles on them yet and had zero big stops due to the worrying clunk from both front ball joints! But they are getting done tomorrow so I'll be able to evaluate the pads. What I can say though is that the initial bite of the standard Ferodo's that came out was horrible. But they were half worn and I have no idea how the previous owner treated them. *edit* Oh and I don't believe the Brembo's are in any way performance pads. They are OEM equivalent as far as I know? Nath.
Yeh you are right there an oem equivalent. Like i said, they do work on heavy braking, but on light braking the initial bite is abit meh compared the yellow stuff i had before. Not that im fussed as i dont do much track driving to warrent better pads.
Oink, sorry to derail you thread again Ryan, only having the half worn OEM Ferodo's to compare against that may or may not have been glazed to high heaven, these Brembo's seem much keener on initial bite and do wrok well under heavy road braking. I'll be looking at uprated pads when the time comes to change the rotors. Nath.
Got round to getting OEM pads from renault wolverhampton. They are indeed brembo pads. Got them all switched over yesterday, 2 of the four caliper pins were seized, but after a little work with the blow torch they came out easily with no bending
They're branded brembo but made by Ferrodo, it's normally stamped into the metal backing top centre above the brembo sticker.
