Just bought some brembo hc vented discs for front so my question is

What is best pads to use?

Also wheres best place to buy them?

Also i read a few articles saying to leave rear standard. If so again where is cheapest place?

Finally what braided hoses would you suggest?

All advice is appreciated!!!

Cheers.

brembo pads maybe? personally id go with ferodo ds2500's

performance wise i wouldnt worry about the back if its for fast road occasional track, but looks wise id get vented for the rears also so it all matches up, ebay is always worth a look because it wouldnt need to be top notch on the rear (there is decent stuff on ebay too though) and id make sure you get zinc coating to keep them pretty, cant help woth the hoses mate

cheers pal was looking into them pads but few people said they were overkill if just for normal road use. yeah will prob look at vented to keep it looking good lol.

Had brembo discs on front, well impressed, used mine with greenstuuff, much better than previous mintex I had, trying ebc discs ATM not too bad to say I've only had them twodays, just as much stopping as the brembos but much quieter

ye i suppose maybe overkill on the clio, i had them on my 270 brake LCR they were ace, but thats a heavier car, im an even freak so with grooves up front id have to have them on the rear

Do a search, there's a million threads...

I had ds2500s and brembo hc discs. Did loads of track days on them. Well worth the money, which is why they're the standard answer on here.

I never bothered with changing the brake hoses.

Another recommendation for DS2500's here

I have Brembo HC's and Mintex M1155's, Hel Brake lines, extreme, but effective...

DS2500's are rubbish, you want some PF97's or Carbone Lorraine's/CL's

iirc they are the pads men choose

Only joking, 2500's are going to be great for daily driving and fast road or track.
