Welcome along
Decide where you will be using the car the most before start changing the parts, for example uprated/harder engine mounts are better on track but will put more vibrations through the car on tick over on the road. So probably better with new OE mounts if mostly a road car and odd...
Welcome along, as mentioned I can get you sorted with everything you need brakes wise, and also various other parts
You want to be running OE Renault rear discs, as these have the best bearings in come complete with abs rings , or the Brembo rear discs if you're not running abs (they don't...
Cheers @James
I can get you sorted with everything you need brakes wise @Wellbs , you can see some parts on RTR Parts:

Yes same brakes on the Clio 172 and 182 , only difference being the 172 Cup doesn't have ABS so doesn't need the rings on the rear discs (can still fit them with no issues) .
If you don't get sorted, get in touch as I can supply various brake options @Clio_romford
I've literally just drop the last genuine one I had off today for someone to measure/quote me locally mate. If they can't get them sorted I'll let you know @Spikenipple
I'm getting some made up aswel , as they are NLA . I got last few from France a while ago, and had a large batch on back order with Renault they couldn't fulfil
I can help out with your brakes @Trojanhawrs various discs, pads, fluids and braided lines, fitting kits etc etc. Get in touch if want any help/info :up:
The DS1.11 wear very well, and are kind on discs as they are an endurance pad. Lots of variables effect wear rate, but like for like they will wear better than a lot of track/race pads and considerably better than OE pads
I agree on the OE pads, when I see people saying they're fine on track...
Another vote for the H&R , they make quality springs/spacers . I've supplied a few sets now for various cars, and started stocking them for the RS models :up:
Can also sort the OE dampers etc at same time if not already sorted @seaneylad
As the brakes will be very hot, you can have issues like the pads sticking to the discs. Also in extreme cases, as the discs will cool quicker where the pad is not in contact with it, it can "warp" the discs. Unlikely on a Clio due to the bias of the brakes. But still best practice to leave it...
