A few pics of me 172 - New Wheels/Brakes

[Brian]

New wheels from Nathan H, very pleased with them - just deciding which coilovers now... H&R are looking favourite atm.
Brakes from Gdi, had them about a month now so not technically new

Dare i ask for comments!? Doesn't mean i'll listen though!

Also in need of a good polish amongst other things.....

 

[Gareth]

nice mate, wheels don't look as good as I thought they would, nice though. Its crying out for a Cup Spoiler, what width are the tyres?

 

[Ali]

Fit as fcuk.

 

[crazycup]

how much are H&R's? would look really nice on those bad boys

 

[Martin]

If i'm correct they're about 750/800

someone will correct me if wrong no doubt

 

[Englebert]

Looks very cool.

How much did the Brembos set you back fella?

 

[Ali]

Correct and free carrage with YS iirc.

How much was the brake kit Bri? You can Pm if you don't wanna post on the forum.

 

[Gareth]

sounds about right, i think the wheels will look 1000% better when the car is lower

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella, looks sweet

 

[dutty_112]

fit! jus needs a cup spoiler

 

[stoddie]

[Fletcher]

Looks good

Is the suspension standard at the moment?

 

[Brian]

Thanks for comments people!
Was gonna pm, but thought - who cares what people think, Brembo kit was 950 plus vat.
And, yes still on standard suspension

 

[Fletcher]

[brisa4984]

ure car is mint mate... brembos are the highlights for me. like the kit

 

[WeeGad]

What size of discs are on the Brembo set up??

Brembos are the best things in the pics for me!!

 

[Brian]

308mm Grooved and Drilled disc with alloy bell, Brembo 4 pot calliper, Braided brake lines

 

[Justin]

love that mate, not normally a fan of silver ones, but that is mint!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WeeGad]

Will any kind of wheel fit onto the hubs with the Brembos on? or do you need to have a min clearance like the Hi-spec kits need?

And did the price include fitting??

 

[Gaz_]

mint, only thing its missing imo is colour coded centre caps

Hmm - Gone a bit technical! :S
The kit was made to allow for my original 172 alloys, with these there wasn't a great deal of clearance between the caliper and the spoke.
Before I got the Anthracite turini's we tried a standard cup turini, the space between the caliper and spokes was bigger but then there was the issue of the caliper clearing the weights inside the wheel - which it did (just) With the anthracite turini's it seemed even more touch and go as to wether it would be ok, but all was fine.
Don't think i've really answered your question? but I don't have any exact measurements etc - perhaps speak to Andy at Gdi?
Oh, and price didn't include fitting - Although I didn't pay for fitting

 

[Brian]

Pic of limited clearance with cup turini on:

 

[Phill1978]

nice how much for the calipers ?

 

[Gibson172]

thats mega close am liking it a lot

 

[Andy GDI]

the original ones did not fit, so we had to get them remade..... and it was a close fit with the 172 wheels.....

 

[WeeGad]

I have 18s on my clio anyway so its more the spacing between the face of the calliper and the inside of the alloys spokes that im wanting to know about!

 

[Alan]

Very cool mate, nice one!

 

[Brian]

Cheers!

 

[polarbert]

Is there a lot of difference from your new brakes? Are the worth the extra dosh?

 

[Impey]

looks fab mate. loving those breaks works well against he silver

 

[jon_r]

Mint.

 

[thedoc]

love the wheels, but I'll echo gt_gaz, they need colour coded centre's..
lovely brakes too..

 

[ChrisE]

The anthracite really accentuates the colour of the car!!

Looks Mint!!

Now all u need is those coilover thingys!!

 

[kully]

mmmmmmmmmmm:approve:

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Looks great, nice setup. Get the H&R's and she'll be sorted.
