5 best brake pads for Renault Logan

Renault Logan is one of the most demanded cars in Russia and the CIS countries. It combines quite a decent build quality and the most attractive price. Moreover, the price applies to both the car itself and its components.

Despite the fact that Renault was originally a product of the French concern, there are practically no parts produced in Europe on the market. More precisely, they exist, but they are distinguished by their high cost, and in terms of quality they are not ahead of materials from China or produced in Russia. The price of brake pads for Renault ranges from 3 thousand to 400 rubles, and you should not think that if you took an expensive product, it will last longer. Our rating also includes quite cheap analogs that are in no way inferior to the original. To compile the top, tests from independent experts, as well as reviews of real buyers, were taken into account. There are several selection criteria:

• Braking distances,
• Lapping time,
• Heating pads and brake disc,
• Work in extreme conditions,
• Abrasion degree,
• And of course the price.

TOP 5 best brake pads for Renault Logan

5 Friction Master

If you look at the customer reviews, then these pads will surely take the first place. They are called the best by both ordinary users and experts. The brand has really proven that a company from China can produce a truly high-quality product, not only not inferior, but also ahead of many European manufacturers. The indicators are really on top: the degree of abrasion is minimal. There is practically no heating during emergency braking. There is practically no grinding time. The pads do not need to come into working order, they are originally made to work in normal mode. Even after initial installation, you don't have to press down hard on the pedal.

So why are they in such a disgraceful place in our top? After all, the reviews about this product are extremely positive. Of course, reviews are important, but the pads have a significant drawback that should not be overlooked. This is the price. Before us, albeit the best, but at the same time the most expensive brake pads for Renault Logan.

4 Kraft

The Chinese manufacturer Kraft has been producing brake pads for Renault Logan for a very long time, and even made an attempt to become an official, that is, a licensed supplier of the concern. But something went wrong, and today experts and testers do not really praise this product. No, his performance is quite acceptable, and the pads have a right to exist, but they are not distinguished by something unique.

The braking distance is unstable and varies with the degree of wear. So, at the initial stage, it is three meters, but then it increases to 8-10, which is already considered an excess of the norm. Also, there is an increased degree of wear on the pads. Abrasion during normal use is about 0.37 millimeters, which is slightly higher than normal, but not critical. But when heated, and these pads are heated to more than 500 degrees, the degree increases to 0.50 millimeters and above. This is a lot, and, therefore, such brake pads will last much less, and they will need to be replaced faster.

This concern produces quality analogs for several car manufacturers. Yes, this is not an original, but the best and most reliable replica on the market. According to experts and testers, the pads are not inferior in quality to the original ones, and in some parameters even surpass them. For example, there is a very low degree of wear - only 0.31 millimeters, which is better than the permissible norm. Also, the pads do not require lapping. A couple of brakes bring them into working mode, but at the initial stage, nevertheless, you will have to apply increased effort when you press the pedal.

At altitude and temperature indicators. During emergency braking, the brake pads heat the system up to only 380 degrees.At this temperature, they do not collapse, which means that the degree of wear does not increase. Buyers will also be pleased with the price that the manufacturer managed to reduce by opening a plant in China. Yes, despite the German origin, the pads are produced in China, however, this does not affect their final quality, and, judging by the tests, the modules produced in Germany show the same result.

2 TDB0626

Russian brands keep up with European companies and produce spare parts for Renault Logan at the most attractive prices. In our rating, this is the best price, and it does not affect the quality in any way. As tests show, these brake pads perform well in business, although they have a number of disadvantages.

For example, they get very hot on the disc. The temperature of the module during emergency braking rises to 500 degrees, which is quite a lot and has a negative effect both on the pads themselves and on other elements of the system. In this case, the pads, heating up to the limiting temperature, begin to collapse, that is, their abrasion increases. The indicator is not critical - from 0.35 in standard mode to 0.40 in extreme mode. However, this, of course, affects the overall service life. True, one should take into account the initial cost, and the design of Renault Logan. If you have several tools and at least a little experience, you can replace the brake pads yourself, and this will save even more on consumables.

1 Valeo 301641

Valeo is a French company that produces components for dozens of cars, including Renault Logan. The products of this brand are distinguished by high quality and long service life. According to independent experts, after installation, the pads practically do not require grinding time. Just a few brakes bring them into working mode, and at the initial stage it is not even necessary to increase the effort to press the brake pedal.

Also these pads have a low wear rate. It is only 0.32 millimeters with emergency braking, and this is the best indicator. Even when heated to the maximum temperature, the degree of wear practically does not increase. And we could safely call them the best on the market, if not for the rather high price, which, however, is offset by long-term operation. Replacing the braking unit will not be required until a few years later. Most importantly, it doesn't matter how aggressively the brakes are used. These pads work great in both emergency and soft braking.
