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
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

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

Just wonder if anyone from here was there?
Well its been 3 weeks now since I brought my Clio 172
And all I can say is I absolutly love it......It`s handling is amazing, and its so comfortable to drive. Its only sitting on Apexi springs which tbh when driving slow it does feel every bump in the road...but when you drive it at speed it...
