Four pot brakes and the like......

[172Petey]

What do you have? What are they like with the O.E master cylinder?

The brakes on my CUP are rather shocking IMO, just locks up on the front way to easy.

Thinking about getting some bigger front calipers and getting the bias adjusted for the rear (I know its a set value on the cups).

 

[drhowser]

will bigger calipers not just make it easier to lock the wheels?

 

[PS autoshine]

slow down

Its not just bigger calipers, its larger pad to disc frictional surface area, so you'd get better braking forces. I just want to know which are the best, and most value for monies!!

slow down

You dont have to be going fast!! :rasp:

I have the shed kit. I had some problem with them intially due to glazed pads(nothing to do with the kit just installation and bedding them in I think.

Save about 10kgs of weight, there powerful and look .

For another £100 you could have had two piece discs and a 'proper' big brake kit ie 295mm instead of OE 280mm.

Its your money I suppose....

oh and using the oe disks you'll have problems with them warping as a 2 piece disk is much better at handling the extra heat that 4 pots can create.

It was a second hand sale so was no where near the GDI price!!

 

[foxon]

i know its abit late now but i`m running hi-spec 300mm 2 piece disks with 4 pot calipers n red stuff pads, had them on since christmas and they ain`t missed a beat, top b****cks lol. abit pricey but well well worth it.

 

[172Petey]

When you say a bit pricey, is that more or less that the CompBrake Kit?

Thing I like about the CompBrake is that its designed for the clio, where as the others seem to be "made to fit".
