Big brakes using Renault parts?

[Andrewclio]

I've been wanting to do this for a while but couldn't get the brackets from noos,

But I didn't manage to find the person who he buys them off to sell on and he only sells them for 160euros but he doesn't seem to reply to emails... Maybe he doesn't speak English, will try French lol

I think he quit business TBH. Quite a few had problems to get in touch with him get their money back etc.

If I decide to buy this kit Ill probably start making copys of the brackets and start selling them, but because of the cost of OE RenaultSport item they wount come cheap either.

The other route is Hi-Spec discs, custom brackets and bells along with used or new 197 calipers.

Hi-Spec custom bells are, £111+VAT each
Hi-Spec 300x28 discs are, £99+VAT each
Hi-Spec custom brackets are about, £40+VAT each

So thats £600 inc vat + pads and calipers. May be a better deal but you still have do design the damn things...

 

[Andrewclio]

Well I would defiantly want a set if you decide to replicate these.
I've already got the calipers , just need discs and brackets now

I have a set of calipers sat waiting to be fitted, just need the brackets and the discs.. I found a set of Grand Scenic Vented Discs which are 300x27 on eBay for £120. Dunno if these will be thick enough??

So basically I just need to source/engineer some brackets for these kits..

From what I understand Grand Scenic discs are either 300x24 or 5stud versions on newer cars.

I was told the fiat couple 20v disc would fit, I think they are 305mmx28 4 stud

I stand corrected, I remember now that's correct. So 300x27/28 will be spot on. What is the standard thickness of Clio/Megane Discs?

That would probably require different brackets though wouldn't it?

 

[Andrewclio]

I'm not sure.. I read that on this site
http://www.cliors-concept.com/t23288-Special-RS-Concept-Pieces-d-usinage-acier-alu-plastique.htm
This is the person who makes the brackets and then noos sells them on here for stupid money
Sorry it's in French

 

[Luke.]

Where can I get the brackets from?

 

[Andrewclio]

Rsport mate or there is the ones that noos had for sale on here, but don't think anybody can get hold of him

 

[Luke.]

No I PM'd him a while ago but he never got back to me..

 

[cliogek]

Interesting topic!

Are Megane 225 calipers the same as Clio 197 ones?

 

[Clart]

I've got a wilwood 4 pot, ap 295 mm rotors and ds2500 pads conversion that will be available soon. It's fcuking epic.

[Ralphizzle]

But still no rotors on brake bells!? (two piece)

Whaddabout the Rikus Automotive brake conv. > see traders!

Also check these rotors by Hispec, 300mm with options in choice for type of vanes.

Oops didn't read all the posts that well...

You guys already found the two piece set-up and suppliers. My bad.

What brackets do we need?

I didn't even see this post. I'll order some soon as..

Well thats the thing, you have to design them your self and then give your drawings to hi-spec...

I spoke to Hi Spec today and they said they wouldn't go near making anything for a Brembo Caliper.

Fail

Brackets is the easy part, they can be made by any machine shop. Bells takes a bit more work.

They said they can supply me with bells and rotors.. Just not brackets as they are made to fit their calipers.. I shall order the bells and rotors and then mock up a Caliper and then get brackets made up.

 

[GodSpeed]

I was told to provide full drawings and measurements, I read your reply as you where told something else?

Clio 197/Megane 230 front discs:


312x28mm mate

I stand corrected, I remember now that's correct. So 300x27/28 will be spot on. What is the standard thickness of Clio/Megane Discs?

 

[GodSpeed]

As far as I know the reduction to 300mm is to take 16 rims, 312mm would require 17

 

[bozothenutter]

did they say why?

[Luke.]

I guess because I'm trying to mount a Brembo Caliper. Brembo would obviously be a competitor of theirs so it makes sense for them to wanna steer clear of helping other companies.

 

[Luke.]

Ha my bad..

Im just going to go with 300mm tbh. But will mean I can't run any less then 16 so will make buying track wheels more difficult. Would be amazing to run 280mm discs with smaller brackets but have to modify the Caliper. Suppose it's not a major issue. Just a pain..

 

[bozothenutter]

they should have steered you towards one of their own products...................a flat 'NO' won't make them any money.

 

[Andrewclio]

So I take it the the twingo r2 brackets don't fit then...?

Thats my exact thoughts..

 

[bozothenutter]

FYI...

contacted the guy from the french forum through PM yesterday about some solid steering rack mounts...and got an answer.
just use french....however bad it is

Ye is his name seiz by any chance?

 

[bozothenutter]

yup, the guy from the link in Post #50 of this thread.

 

[Andrewclio]

He's a nightmare to get hold of, I've emailed him must be at least 5 times in French and English but nothing!!
but 160 euros for the brackets is a good price

 

[bozothenutter]

just keep trying and use babelfish...

 

[bozothenutter]

Hmmmmm, just noticed he does bells for the AP discs aswell....they should be better that Hispec right?

Has anyone successfully done this yet?

I fancy a set of Brembos (don't really care whether they're 197/200/Megane/Twingo ones) and Noos's Megane 225 full set (calipers + 300mm 2 piece floating disc + brackets) looks perfect http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...or-Brembo-s-Megane-225-(Clio-2-and-Twingo-RS)... but no one seems able to get hold of him!

 

[sween]

i have done this but everything is just mock up just now using my own bracket i made, 300x24 senic discs just to get size right, brembo 197 callipers but i would like to use the correct discs and brackets from r sport so just really needing some feedback 1st
