Hi,
Looking to upgrade my standard disc`s and pads on my 172, as I`m using it as a track / road car.
Which would be better - HC Brembo`s or Brembo Max disc`s
And which pads - CL5 or DS2500
Thanks
Have a 172.....used on normal roads and as a track car, question is, what is the differance between Solid Disc`s & Drilled/Grooved Disc`s??? What would be the best choice for track and road use??
I`m looking at 3 options to up grade to
Brembo HC
Brembo Max
Brembo Drilled/Grooved
As your a track novice (as I am) and won`t really notice the differance, I would buy a set of 15" Clio standard alloys (around £100), then purchase a set of Toyo R1Rs 195/50/15 around £220.00 from Tyretraders.com
I`v just done my first track day at Cadwell and used the above set up and had a...
Already spoke to him....very good......Just want to see whiat others where using and their thoughts.
Proberly looking at
Mintex disc and 1115 pads
or
Brembo Max disc and CL5+ PADS
Just wondered if anyone has these on there clio?? KTR Track Day Extreme Brake Kitshttp://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2390&appid=2
Failing that I`m looking at Brembo Max Disc and CL RC5+ Pads
The Clio was bought with 16" Turini alloys and had Pirelli Pzero 195/45/16 tyres.
All seemed ok, a little hard on the ride, but I put that down to the 40mm Apex lowering springs.
I`v now changed the alloys for a set of standard 15" alloys with Toyo R1R 195/50/15 for track use, I must say the...
Well I brought myself a set of 15" Clio Alloys for track use, just needed to decide on which tyres to go for. After reading to alot of peoples comments on their preferance`s I decided to go for
Toyo Proxies R1R`s 195/50/15
Got them for a real good price £220.00 delivered from TyreTraders.com...
My tail gate/boot lid won`t open via the central locking....the 2 doors open & lock ok.
Could it be a fuse issue?
Is there any other way of opening tail gate/boot lid??
Thanks
Don`t mean to be cheeky...but what price did you pay for these?
I`m looking at buying some track day tyres myself...either Toyo R1Rs or Yoko AD08s...but theres £130 differance in price between them.
Thanks....I understand your the man to speak to regarding Brembo discs......Looking at doing some track days.....would you say solid dics are ok or would I be better off having drilled/grooved? Looking at a full set front and rear....what sort of price would I be looking at??
