I just refreshed a pair of 197 calipers and fitted them to my 182, but the front right one gets hot, I also put brand new brembo max discs but OE Valeo pads (they came with the calipers as a bonus from the seller) and after some harder braking action the right disc got brownish in colour and the...

why did you installed camber bolts if you have elongated holes on the shocks?

any other companies that rebuild B14's these days? and prices? thx!

oh my bad! how cool that they fit diectly onto non sports!

That above is a friend's 172 with the 406 caliper conversion. What you see there is an adapter. It does not bolt straight on...

No 4 pot caliper bolts onto the clio directly. They all need some kind of bracket

hence I attached the link to kam's website above

Bump! So I have a pair of 197 calipers and need the hoses to fit my 182. As far as I'm aware the braided kit for the 197 will fit? Something like the one kam sells here: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/hel-performance-braided-brake-lines-renault-clio-mk3-rs-197-rs-200.html Only the front hoses...

well good luck then, you'll need someone dedicated to solve your issue

Yeah and you won't believe it- it was the coilovers themselves. I changed the GAZ GHA that I had with a set of B14's and now it is PERFECT. I still can't believe that I struggled for 10+years with this. I went through 2 sets of GHA's but even when new the noise was still there. Plus the car...

thanks man! :)

anyone know what size is the bolt thread that's missing in the OP's post? Thx!

I can't find any lemforder balljoint on my local online part store with this code. Maybe because I'm based in the EU and not in the UK? The ones that appear to be the right part have the 2889203 code attached (they have the M12 size bolts as they should)

Small little bump here- can anyone make a small guide into replacing all the seals in the AC system and where are they located? Thx!

Does the DCI rack have the same lock to lock turns compared to the RS one? I've heard that it has like 4 turns rather than 2,8- that's not so pretty, would make the car feel dull. Or am I wrong?

Meaning that the wilwood pads are smaller than the original or smaller than the Brembo pads?

How are the ph1 and 172 cup shafts different? There are various explanations but it's kinda confusing

the guys that installed it said it was original. Anyway, the one I instlled now is 100% original as I did the job :). Let's see now

Just replaced my thermostat the other day. Question is- why do these fail SO BADLY? It basically shredded apart wtf. This is the second one in the last 3 years, the original one lasted 15 years or so Any ideas? are there some stronger units out there?

hey nice build you have here! I see that you're running 30mm spacers- how do you cope up with that? Suspension guru's will say that the scrub radius will be all over the place and that the best way to substantially increase track width is with longer wishbones/lower ball joints and longer...

Hi guys, Recently installed my Bilstein B14 kit which I'm so so pleased about, did a trackday couple of days ago and really liked how the car behaved. I currently run Nankangs NS2R's in 205/45 16 size and was wondering if going next level on the tyres - AR1's, R888's and the likes- would be too...

It's a daily driven car, I'm not a fan of slammed cars especially on bad roads, oversized speed bumps etc. Plus if I run it that low on the rear I'll have to lower it on the front as well and it will scrub on the arches, hit the bump stops. Been there done that 10 years ago.

Hi, I'm about to fit a set of b14's and noticed that the rear spring adjustment collars have no lock in place screw. Don't they move out of position while driving?

I haven't spoke to Gaz, I know they're very nice and helpful but I recently bought the B14s so fingers crossed I'll get rid of all the noises. I also noticed that on firmer settings the noises kinda faded on the rear, but even on 6 clicks or so the car is too bouncy even on decent roads.

Change the cables and then see if it works. I had the same problem and one of the cables was chewed by corrosion. I did them both and it sorted it

I have bought a set of b14's and have some k-tec solid mounts (the older golden type). Any advice on how to mount them? I already got myself some 22mm ID washers if needed, anything else? Thx!

So, any news on this? I am on my second set of GAZ GHA coilovers and they have always made knocking noises, front and rear. The rear on mine doesn't sound like yours, It's not tik tik tik like you have but rather a deeper knocking noise over bumps- still drives me mad. Also on the front it looks...

A friend has them on for 6 years and they look spot on. True that the car stays in an undergroung garage but anyway it's daily driven, well looked after though

Use coilover socks for the fronts and the rears might benefit a coat of ACF50 even if they're painted
