    172 Brakes & Suspension Advice

    If you need better brakes then 2500's are great but only if you need them stock are fine for 99% of people. I don't think BBTT are likly to be inferier there not much they can do wrong assuming there not fancy drilled ones which can cracke and ther groves fill up. Thats a more obvious problem...

    What Renaults Will be the same Box?

    Part of the 1.9 box were used in building the stronger Mk1 box (the Willaims one) a 1.9 is a stright fitment I think but the ratios are very long. You'll never hit the limiter in top. I thik the rsi box is the same model type so it will fit though. The 1.9 box holds back a fair bit of torque...

    Front springs Rsi Mk1 ph3

    I'd chanage dampers front and rear as the etups much better with matching dampers and springs. If you just want spring eisbeck are a great manurfacturer not sure if they did one for your car though.

    car trouble help?

    Its not the VVT. The VVT has nothing to do with the power kicks thats all down to the cams coming on and the fuleing maps chnaging from closed to open loops. Its not even a variable cam realy it just advances a few degress on the intake cam.

    Which Brake Pads?

    I like standard pads DS2500 are good but its wheather you need the extra power/lack of fade in exchange for the low speed squeeling and higher cost.

    Advice on Rear Discs/Bearings please!

    Get new disk as well there no point just getting new bearing pressed in IMO. Yozzasport are the best value I know off but there still not cheap a new bearing is £30 then £15 or so fitment a new disk with bearing is £60 or so so might as well change the lot.
