Fitting Rear Discs

[Stu_c]

i wanna fit rear disks to my clio whats the best way to do this people have said to get a rear axel off a sport but how easy do they fit

 

[16v_jon]

i swaped the whole axel 1 hour job very easy just need 2 people to lower/ higher the axel onto the car, pipes etc are the same fitting.
Just to point out; changing to disks may give you better braking when gunning for it but they dont seem to clamp as well as drums

 

[Stu_c]

no anyone or know anywhere i can get one

You might need to adjust your rear brake pressure valve though.

They are brand new ones though which when you add up used one mihgt need new pads disk etc it might not look so bad. Matts got a few 172 and at least 1 used 182 one as well which will be less as Jon said he paid £180
