also I'm starting to question wether I should get some ferodo ds performance rear pads (I'm running the brembo 197 calipers on the front with 300mm discs and ds2500 pads) to balance the braking performance as some say that a step above road cheap pads on the rear makes some difference

As I seen this has been brought up here, are the 197 rear calipers a direct swap to the clio 1*2s?

I would buy the poworflex arb inner and outer bushes, don't be afraid that the car will feel rough- it isn't. They're just gonna last you a long time- worth it

me again with an update: So I decided to finally machine some proper caliper brackets, and because I didn't want to hassle with drilling the calipers to make some "pms style" brackets for the 280mm discs that I have- I went to the 300mm disc route so I took the necessary measurements, made the...

Are these still available?

Hi everyone, So this time of the year is foggy windows back again. Did a search on this subject but looks like I covered most common issues so far: AC works spot on, changed some seals couple of days ago, did a refill and leak test and it's fine. Pollen filter is nice and clean and dry I can't...

wild guess is that ceramic brackets was a joke :P

Strange thing is caliper carriers are no longer available for some time now

You probably bought the wrong calipers, parts listed in autodoc ar not always compatible, you have to double check. But tbh, I would rebuild the old calipers with new pistons and seals plus bleed nipples. The seized nipple you have there might be removed with some serious heat on it. Not impossible

Et is not a problem, you add a spacer and that's it, std is Et45 so you might aswell leave it like it is

I love them ;)

https://www.willtheyfit.com/ sure there it is

I sincerly advise you do that :) I shopped for some rims earlier this year and found some ATS rims that I REALLY liked but they were 16x6,5" unfortunately :(

I installed them without that insert on some gaz shocks and I was careful not to tighten the bolt too much, that insert stops you to do just that and prevent damage to the bush
