Sounds like the slider are stuck.
Thee two bolts holding the calipers to that bracket thingie slider in and out on two pin likt things there covered by bits of rubber there the bits you stick the spanners on to undo the caliper. If they don't slider then you get this problem.
It can be a pain...
Are they up[rated pads as uprated pads queeek.
Some replacment pads arn't a good fitment though so they can rattle about. When you take the caliper off see if the pads can rattle about as this will be the problem. One way of stopping them or limiting the noise is to put that brakes grease on...
Your right, I was going to edit my early post but for 90% of people the H and R are idea. If you have the extra money and want the best leda or blistein are better and give you more adjustment option but its a lot of extra money which most people won't use.
You could tell what tyre of arm it was before you started try one which is so rusted you don't know what type it is.
Best idea IMO is to duct tape the whole thing all the threads etc then paint it in underseal etc.
With coilovers you can adjust the ride height but the best thing is to have it profeshionally set up by Yozzasport or Mark fish etc they will adjust the camber height etc to what they thing is the best setup for what you use the car ie track, fast road, hill climb, etc.
Personaly I'd just go...
The serv light indicates a fault not a service.
The oil warning light is telling you it needs topping up with oit 5-40 semi syntheic is what you want only a few quid from Halfords etc.
We need the power as well it depends how the engine has been built if the turbos speced etc so power drops at 7k then you'r unlikly to get to 160 or whatever as power will have droped off and you'd need longer gearing from either different ratios or final ratio or bigger wheels.
The parts you need
Condensor.
The pump and get it fitted plus new AUX belt.
Wiring into the ecu and Renault programming the ECU unless you want to bodge it.
New dahboard panel
Piping.
Filling with gas
Parts cost there about £1k I'd think.
If after the tracking been done the wheel isn't stright then they havn't done the tracking right. The best place to do a proper job is a back street garage from my experiance.
Stave on here has his done looks a good job from what I saw very impressive.
I think Ktec said there went to 160 or something the gearbox and engine power band limiting factor as people have hit the limiter on stock cars before now.
Don't bother with just springs get a full kit apex kits are great value.
Stock shocks can die in 50k on normal springs so on modified springs say 25k (assuming thats from new)
I've sold my RS but when i ownered it I drove it quite hard but it was a second cra so was only drivng to track days so no point driving it hard plus it attracted a lot of attention the way it was setup.
My other Clio I drive hard all the time.
Cams make for decient gains on the F7R engine talk to BenR on here about them as his company makes them in various specs.
Throttle bodies are great and a stunning sound but expensive.
Depends cheap cams say £200 for regrinds.
£500 for new dampers and springs
£400 for fitment of cams
£350 for a remap
£200 for a back box exhaust maybe
£150 for a intake
But thats not the best use might as well stay with stock cams get a full exhaust (£400) manifold (£180) work and a Viper...
