I would buy the poworflex arb inner and outer bushes, don't be afraid that the car will feel rough- it isn't. They're just gonna last you a long time- worth it

me again with an update: So I decided to finally machine some proper caliper brackets, and because I didn't want to hassle with drilling the calipers to make some "pms style" brackets for the 280mm discs that I have- I went to the 300mm disc route so I took the necessary measurements, made the...

Are these still available?

Hi everyone, So this time of the year is foggy windows back again. Did a search on this subject but looks like I covered most common issues so far: AC works spot on, changed some seals couple of days ago, did a refill and leak test and it's fine. Pollen filter is nice and clean and dry I can't...

wild guess is that ceramic brackets was a joke :P

I always apply ceratec on all contact points but that didn't help. When I'll get some proper brackets I'll do the spring clip trick that you said, but I'm hoping the brackets are the issue here and once I get new ones I'll get rid of this Thx!

Strange thing is caliper carriers are no longer available for some time now

You probably bought the wrong calipers, parts listed in autodoc ar not always compatible, you have to double check. But tbh, I would rebuild the old calipers with new pistons and seals plus bleed nipples. The seized nipple you have there might be removed with some serious heat on it. Not impossible

Et is not a problem, you add a spacer and that's it, std is Et45 so you might aswell leave it like it is

I love them ;)

https://www.willtheyfit.com/ sure there it is

I sincerly advise you do that :) I shopped for some rims earlier this year and found some ATS rims that I REALLY liked but they were 16x6,5" unfortunately :(

I installed them without that insert on some gaz shocks and I was careful not to tighten the bolt too much, that insert stops you to do just that and prevent damage to the bush

Fit or no fit is one but the way it will look is another matter. Trust me, it will look awkward on 6,5" rims, let me show you some examples as to why that is This site is quite a useful tool, I encourage people to use it So, see how the 205/45 tyres sits on 7" vs 6.5"? It's sidewall is almost...

I wouldn't fit 6,5" wheels with std size clio 182 tyres which is 205/45 16. It will look as the wheel is too narrow for the tyre. For example, I remember when I had some 195/50 15 tyres that have been fitted to 6" wide rims - they looked totally wrong, it was clear that the rim is too narrow...

it's not that difficult really. once done it's a nice upgrade

why is that?

is there anything to modify on the 197 mc to fit the 1*2? are the threads the same and reservoir ports and all that?

I think that's more of a individual preference. A bigger master cylinder will make the pedal feel more solid but it will make the brakes less progressive. I'm fine of how they behave on the 182 master cylinder. I would swap this at the end only if you're not happy with how they work

My thoughts on this (after I had them on for about 6 months) 1. do it properly I bought the calipers with some awkward brackets and these seem to be the reason why my brakes squeal like mad (tried 3 different sets of pads from 3 manufacturers) If you get your hands on some used calipers make...

I guess you will need 15mm spacers with these

you are talking about the OZ F1 wheels from the 172 ph1?

Yeah I weighted the std calipers vs the brembo ones and you save 2,7 kgs per side with the brembo's, both std calipers with carriers and pads are 11,7 kg, the brembo's are almost half the weight, it's a MASSIVE gain. Even if you go for the 300mm discs you still save weight

Meanwhile I took a closer look at the DS2500 pads that I recently removed to see if I can find any clues to the noise. And I found that the inside pad from the right caliper is worn unevenly, as if one piston is pressing harder on it than the other on that particular side. Also at the moment...

after I burn these max ones I may revert to plain discs again who knows. But first I'll try another set of adapters like others suggested

will do that for sure but the calipers seem centered, I took some measures and it looks all good and straight.

Done a few extra miles and yeah, they squeak like all the other pads before. I don't really understand why that's not a common issue among others that run this setup. And what's different in my setup compared to others that have no noise. It's mega annoying, everyone on the street looks at me...

I was thinking about the wilwood kit but I got the brembo calipers at a good price so...

quick update: Went to a trackday recently and after some brake pad material sticked to the discs the squeal was vastly improved, it only did it at a certain brake pedal pressure (above medium let's say) and only after the pads are a bit hot, sot not the first thing in the morning so I'm happy to...

no news on this?
