A few on here have them - they look the nuts!
Brembo, AP Racing & Compbrake do the kits

I've seen Kits by AP Racing,Compbrake and Hi Spec

For Brembo you could try Godspeed, not sure on all the other various others

I can't comment if their customer service is any good as I've not used them..

I have a set of compbrake 4 pots on my 172.... Great brakes very powerfully once warmed up and no fade whatsoever.

Forgot about Hi-Spec, that looks awesome!
How much are they?

Speak to "fmp_" on here - he just changed his 4pots and might still have his old set for sale not 100% if they were sold or not

Overkill for a Clio

Hispecs are dogsh*t. Don't bother.

I've been daydreaming about some better brakes on my 182 for a while. Get some 4 pot brembo calipers off ebay for something like fiat coupe turbo 20v and make some suitable brackets, get goodridge to make some hoses and away you go.

Or you could buy some of those clip on covers.

I opened a thread not so long ago on this subject.

I opted not to go for a 4-pot conversion. Pedal bite usually isn't as sharp as when using standard calipers due to the increase in pressure needed to operate the extra pistons in the calipers. A master cylinder with greater pressure matched to the new 4-pot calipers will probably sort it out.

Some are very happy with set up, prefering a more progressive (soft) feeling rather than that intial sharp feeling with the brakes. But once firmly applied braking is very good and better than standard

Although one is usually very happy with a simple upgrade costing far less. PF 97 pads combined with Brembo Max discs really WILL give an increase in this area. :star:

Just make sure you clean the wheels every two to three days. Brake dust is horrendous, and will actually damage the alloy if left on to build up!

I was joking of course. :clown:
