Megane Brembos

[Sam-182]

Just a few questions before I jump in and buy a few things are the megane brembos exactly the same as the clio 197/200, which braided lines would be best suited is it just a case of buying 182 specific ones or would I need to have them made up?

Lastly i I found these on ebay has anyone tried these?

Awesome, it would be brilliant if you could let me know what there like when they turn up, what braided brake lines are you going to be using?

I've already pinged you a PM previously regarding HC discs and potential pad selections but reading that does it mean you do callipers too, or was that more for Chris to sort out?

 

[w33 brl]

They were delivered today look spot on shall be fitted next week hopefully

I'm using goodridge braided lines

 

[Rob]

Are those two little bits of metal and some bolts seriously £200???

 

[Sargara]

Pretty much. The group buy ran on here not long back charged roughly the same, £178 posted.

The 250/265 has different calipers to the 197/200.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

^ I presumed the OP was talking about the mk2 Megane 225/230 front Brembo calipers being the same as the Clio 197/200, think chewyb did aswel.
But yes the 250/265 Megane has different front Brembos mate to the previous models

I've already pinged you a PM previously regarding HC discs and potential pad selections but reading that does it mean you do callipers too, or was that more for Chris to sort out?

I remember mate

I can do yes, but Chris can sort the custom lines and brackets so he'd sort at same time for you as calipers

Cheers

^ From what I had already read and the few sets I am watching they are all from the 225 megane I just needed to be sure. For some reason the 197/200 seem to cost a lot more. I've also read some where that the fiat 500 that came with brembos are the same as well.

Do you have the brakes already, once fitted I'd really appreciate a few pictures. As you are going to be running the 300mm disc i take it that is what the smaller plate is for?

You can buy the callipers new from Renault for £159 each (silver, red costs more and is out of stock) so I don't understand why they command the premium that they do on Ebay, I guess its from people not knowing their new price as a reference point.

they ive had the calipers for couple of years but never thought about them much until the last few months plus i need the stopping power now.....yeah they must machine the main bracket for 280mm and by the time you add the plate plus the calipers dont need the 5mm removed from it for 300mm it makes up the difference

I never thought to try them to be honest. I will PM them and ask.

I thing I will stick with the 280mm disc, I did think they would have been one sold bracket as the website page seemed to read as if they where all made to order.

ok fair do's just means you have to get the calipers machined

 

[Sargara]

I've never heard anyone say that before about 280mm discs, Are you sure?

Yeah need to machine 5mm of the mounting face I would have went for 280mm if that didn't have to be done
