172 rear discs onto a 172 cup?

[cpcrampton]

As above been offered by a friend at renault a staff discount on rear disc with bearings and abs rings for £60. will they fit or will i encounter problems? can the ring be easly removed or just leave it on?

Any help appreciated.

The rear disks will be a straight swap. If going onto a cup there will be no abs sensor wired into the car so it does not matter if there is an abs ring or not. If i remember correctly when i got my car from dealers new came to change the disks some miles later and it had rings even though not needed!
hope that helps.

new cups came with the rings on them anyway, lightweight version my arse!

also to add for general interest really, each ABS ring from the rear weighs 50grams. remove the two which are not needed for the cup and saved .1 of a kilo. depends if you care that much!

my cup came with them on the front driveshafts which are not needed also, save .2kg total!
