I've ordered Genuine Renault rear disc and pads with new nuts and washers, with Brembo plain disc and pads for the fronts.
I'll see how i get on with this setup and then revisit if need be, i figured the brembo pads are only £30. So might as well try these out before throwing £130+ on pads...
If standard is the best setup then great, it'll save me some cash. Just while i'm changing everything, i'd rather pay a little more now and get something better if I can without going all out and replacing the calipers and mounts, etc.
This is my issue with choosing pads, it seems quite split on whether they're good or crap.
I've run standard Brembo Disc and Pads on my old 182, which were decent. Just hoping to improve on it a little if possible.
Sounds promising, have you tried anything else to compare with?
These the...
I was leaning more towards this setup initially, as it does seem one of the more popular.
I thought the RC6 were more track based than the RC5+ to be honest, so i've not really considered them. Have you any experience with the DS2500 too, to compare?
I thought the RC5+ was suppose to improve the squealing issue the original RC5's had, are the revised pads still bad?
They better than the DS2500 for squealing or general performance?
To be honest my main concern is cold performance when moving away from OEM pads, i'd like something that will...
Bought a 182 this weekend and I need to replace the front and rear disc and pads.
I know the standard setup is already pretty good when fresh, but I was hoping to improve the stopping power a little. Car will be used for driving to work in mainly, but there are some fun roads to throw it...
Got these advertised here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?754037-Team-Dynamics-Pro-Race-1-2-s-with-PS3-tyres-%28Clio-fitment%29

Looking to sell my Black Gold 182 shortly.
04 plate, 101k, Full Fat
Belts and dephaser done in march 2013 by Diamond motors (@ about 80k),
low mileage gearbox and new clutch installed in Jan 2014 by DM,
All standard barring Eibach Proline springs, Scorpion Cat Back system, PiperX Panel, and...
I had these on a set of F1's in 195/50/15, compared to the RS2's (205/45/16) they were better in the wet and dry, only slightly, but enough to notice the difference when i put my old wheels back on with the RS2's. However the RS2's have done over 10k miles and still have at least 3mm thread...
Actually thinking about it I've not allowed for the extra tyre width, do its going to be 13mm extra, might be better off ditching the spacers or going down to 5 or 10 mm which will get me similar to what I'm running now.
Might put the standard 182 wheels on tonight with the 20mm spacers and...
I'm currently running 15" F1's with 20mm spacers, Eibach Prolines and camber bolts set to max (believed to be about 1 degrees but actual is unknown).
The 16" TD Pro Race 1.2's i've bought are ET35, am i likely to have issues with rubbing? I'm going to be running 205/45 tyres.
It's only 8mm...
Looking to get some locking wheel nuts for use with the kTec Stud conversion. They need to be open ended as the studs are pretty long, with a suitable key to accommodate the stud length (68mm).
Can only find them on eBay, and i'm just a bit apprehensive about buying such items from non known...
I paid £15 for 20 minutes yesterday. But they actually gave me 2 lots of 15 minutes. To be honest 10 minute stints would have been better for me. I had to keep slowing down to give myself a break. Wrist and back were killing me.
Managed a 26.9 on my second run, which I thought was pretty good...
I found the Rainsport 2 tyres lost a lot of grip in wet and dry weather when the tread got to around 2.5-3mm, switched the rears and fronts around (rears were on around 5mm, and instantly it was improved.
Now been running the Rainsport 3's for about a month, wet weather grip is definitely...
Upgrading the mounts will however create more vibration in the car.
I tried the Evol dog bone mount, ended up taking it off and selling it on after a couple of week, because the added vibration was horrible. It was brilliant at full throttle and did improve gear changes, but for a road car...
Engine dynamics have a list of different engine builds that they do. Might be worth looking on there, even if its just for an idea of cost. They can do the rebuild or just sell you the parts so that you can do it yourself.
I know it says not to message about selling parts off the car, but I'd be interested in the wheels with a part ex for my old 182 cup pack wheels with RS2 tyres, with a decent amount of money your way. I'm only in notts, so can collect.
Full suspension refresh I'd guess would be the best place to start. ie:

No point working around old worn parts.
