Product Description
Renault Clio 172/182 Front Big Brake Kit - REPLACEMENT PADS
Brake Pads
We also manufacture our own high quality street, sport and race brake pad compounds. They include backing plates to improve heat dissipation and reduce noise. Pads are not specific to PB Brake kits so replacements are available from ourselves or any other major pad manufacturer. Please see 'compatible pads' on the left for profiles and part numbers.
Street pads are included as standard, and are recommended for drivers that want quiet, low-maintenance brakes on the road. They're more economical, and will still stop you really quickly, but will start to fade after several high speed stops in quick succession. Suitable for road use only and not recommended for vehicles with a kurb weight exceeding 1500kg.
Sport pads are a great middle-ground option. Although not as quiet as the street pads, they shouldn't make any squeaking noises when bedded in correctly. The cold bite is comparable to the street compound, they offer high friction, and are highly resistant to brake fade for fast road use. Also suitable for very light track use.
Race pads have a high coefficient of friction and warm bite, and are highly resistant to brake fade for race use. The drawbacks are they need bedding in very thoroughly to maintain a good transfer layer on the rotors, and they don't last as long as the street or sport compounds. Recommended for track use only.
Pro Race pads provide the best overall performance and are designed to meet the demands of competative motorsport. They have the highest level of friction, warm bite, and heat capacity, but with the same drawbacks as the race compound. Recommended for track use only.
