4 pots size's

[James.f]

Nearly finished my conversion so im after some upgraded brakes now, so 4pots are on the list.

Been looking at the billet 4 in silver but i havent got a clue about the size's etc

Fred did mention before (cant find the thread) that the Williams/valver calipers etc is the same for a mk2 ph2 1.2 16v..

so having a look in on this site: http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/Conversions/Renault/Clio Mk1 285 B4.htm

In the economical section, which size do i need to fit behind 15" wheels.. :S

ta

There 300mm discs, and are abit of overkill on a clio tbh. Speaking from experience as i have them

 

[James.f]

they offer between 285 and 325mm in discs tho, i basicly need them behind 15" as i dont tend to go bigger..

What size discs would i need for the 1.2 16v hubs then, standard is 260mm ye?

 

[Fletcher]

IIRC my Compbrake 4 pots have 295mm discs/24mm rotors.

They can fit behind 15'' 2118's etc.

You don't need them unless going on track. I wasted a s**t load of money on mine on my Williams.

i need upgraded brakes, and i do intend to take the car on track tho,, as its a jump from a 1.2 to a 2L the original brakes will work but i cant trust them as their not deisgned to handlle the power,

Fletcher, how much were the compbrake kit? and were from?

 

[Jamie]

I would honestly be careful. Alot of ppl on here have standard RS items with brembo max discs and braided lines and fine. Don't think you need £700 brakes.

I paid £600 for them, great bit of kit IMO.

Agree, standard 172 brakes with upgrade discs pads and lines will be more than fine. And you will still have about £300 change

 

[James.f]

Ye but i dont have 172hubs tho guys, so i have to upgrade the caliper aswell, as theres no bracket to fit the 1*2 calipers onto non-sport,

Might be cheaper just to get K-tec big brake kit then (N), didnt really wanted to get them as i always fancied 4pots,

 

[Jamie]

If you are making it a rep surley you are fitting the suspension, subframe and hubs? No?

Don't think you really need them for the track either.

If your looking for 172 suspension I've got some for sale.

 

[f0xy]

259mm is the size of your disks Jay.

Same hubs as valver/williams indeed. Look for 4pots for those models if you want them

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

If your not using your car on track I'd just upgrade the discs and pads as others have suggested.

I do a fair few trackdays and so went for the Jam Sport 4 pot kit which isn't cheap but the replacement pads are so much cheaper than for single piston calipers.

Horses for courses though.

Nope dont need to as the 1.2 running gear work, just look for Dynacup on here (fred's car) hes also running 1.2 gear on a cup engine.

Cheers foxy

but on the list left hand side which one i want :s as theres loads with 260mm/10mm etc

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

if you want the 4pots then we do a kit that fits under 15" wheels, its a good upgrade done a few cars with this now, other than that the common choice is standard caliper, brembo hc disc and ds2500 pads.

 

[James.f]

But do yo do it for the 1.2 hubs tho ?

I dont want to go into high figures for 4pots either lol,

 

[steviet]

Apparently 406 coupe brembos fit with a little work and the right discs.....

 

[Jamie]

Ohh btw, I had those Hi Spec 4pots on the Williams, I don't recommend them.

 

[James.f]

why whats wrong with them ?

Fred hasnt dissed them atall i dont think, no point gettin the big brake kit from k-tec then have to fork out more again to get 4pots

 

[Jamie]

Just felt more about show than anything.

Didn't feel alot stronger than the standard units. I expected to go through the windscreen but not overly different.

Looked awesome though:

 

[James.f]

just orderd k-tec kit need them asap so il get 4pots late on in the year
