i want bigger discs and pads/calipers.

I don't know if they'l fit a 1.4, but 172 calipers/discs and pads all bolted straight onto my mk1 16v.

 

[Final Maxim]

yea that was my first thought, but im guessing im gonna have to change the entire thing to fit 16v/172 stuff, bottom arms and all that jazz, anyone confirm?

ok found these discs for £45 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...1991|Model:Clio&hash=item4600f8bf6c#vi-ilComp

will these simply fit straight to the standard caliper? like would they be the same size. if they are slightly bigger, does the caliper adjust to suit the bigger disc?

finally what pads are best for fast road use that fit in standard caliper?

cheers

you had 172 hubs fitted IIRC??? 172 brakes don't fit non sports/mk1's

However, williams/valver calipers and disks bolt straight on to other mk1's and there's lots of pads available for those. I'd be going for Pagid disks and Mintex M1155 pads in williams calipers

sweet cheers for the info. last question, would valver discs fit williams calipers or do i need to get willy spec discs?

 

[Dan519]

they're the same

 

[Final Maxim]

awesome cheers

and if you're after some suspension, I have a lovely set of Spax coilovers that were on my RSI

Yes I did. But my williams had/has 172 brakes so I was unsure if the person who did that just bolted them straight on.

well they defintely don't bolt straight on to williams hubs. I wanted to do it to the RSI-der
