coilover & brake advice needed



  clio 172
I will be fitting my coilovers in 2 weeks. ive purchased kw variant 2.

Will i need to get upgrade topmounts, also which brand and where from ?

also will i need to get anythink of the existing suspension struts ? just so i know if i need to get hold of a set of spring compressors.

im also going to fit new discs and pads front and rear while im at it.

when you replace the rear discs dont you need to put new bearings in ?

where do you buy the rear disc bearings from seen some discs but will have to get the bearings.

also what pads for general use ?will be buying some track pads later on in the year.

cheers

Rear disks from Renault come with bearings/abs rings so ready to fit. Get Ferodo DS2500 front pads and oem rear pads.

When fitting your coilovers mate you will need your top mounts off. Thats everything above the plate on top of spring! Springs clamps are advised usually about 20quid for local car shops.

As for rear disk bearing they can be bought from local car shops too (europarts, halfords etc) but fitting them is another problem unless you have a 20t press lying about! Well thats what took me to do mine.
