Brake set-ups

[ritch 182]

will the Renault sport R27 brembos fit a 2005 182? :S

 

[phill172]

if they did they problerly wouldnt fit under 16's

cant remember who it was, but he comes to westerham a fair few times, and they had such hassle trying to get his brembo kit to fit!

But i assume, if the brake disc size is no bigger (as the 197 is 5 stud) and you could get a adaptor made?

Nothings impossible, but there are much better alternetives

Don't actually know...except the R27 hub is with 5 studs while 182 is 4 stud

if your looking for better braking, just uprate, brembo disks, choice of pad, everyones got mixed views, decent fluid and braided lines and youll notice a huge difference,

thanks for the advise, sounds like i could have abit of hassle, especially if there are better set-ups. has anyone/know anyone who has the KTR fast road brake set up? ive already got braided goodridge hoses, just the disks and a pretty set of calipars i need lol

 

[phill172]

wip the calipers off, give them a good rub down and a damn good coat of paint, colour up to you! have a word with Andy at GDI (grey devil industries), hes brillent and will give you all the advise you need and also supply and fit if needed....

Dont know much about the Ktr, all i know is that some people arnt fans of drilled disks as they can crack....i just picked myself up the Brembo Max ones from Gsf, cost about £40

Finding them absoulty fantastic, and thats just running some Ebc greens with too!

 

[ritch 182]

nice. did you only upgrade the front discs to brembo's or a all round job?

 

[phill172]

all round job, but standerds rear, dont really see any point in upgraded those, there only solids

 

[ritch 182]

brilliant. thanks for your help. I took a quick look at GDI four pot calipar kit. really like those wilwood calipars. do you know of anywhere that will sell these calipars seperately. ive emailed the guys at GDI and jus awaiting thier reply

 

[phill172]

erm, unsure of where, to be honest Gdi would do im sure, no worries, im not to sure who else would supply these, but if gdi did do them you can be assured they will just bolt on!

awesome. thanks for all the help on here! after the brakes, in goes the coil over and 6 point roll cage!!!! bring on the track

dont see the point in 4 pots unless you are going to track the car on a regualr basis.

i had pagid blues and stainless hoses fitted recently and OMG such a difference, they are on standard discs until i come back from the ring, as carbon pads will eat my discs.

When I get back its Black diamond HC disc for the front and new pads for the rear.

There is a set of very good reasons first there better stopping which has value everywhere
