mk1 brakes

M

mouthyman

does anyone know if the 94 mk1 clio 1.2 front brakes are lucas or bendix. thanks
 
it could be either

if the pads are held in by sliders the brakes are bendix
and if the pads are wrapped around by the cailper with two 13mm bolts the pads are lucas girling
 
LoL! I had this same question a few weeks ago and got a more complex response! :) got there in the end however.


Mouthyman; I 100% recommend Tarox fast road pads (Http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk) I have a Mk.1 1.4 and found teh brakes so crap... got these and they rock!

Do they really make a huge difference?

Running them on standard discs?
 
Yup, standard discs (they were in good nick.) It may be that my old pads were shot to crap! :P

However, I can now lock-up on grippy tarmac at pretty much any speed... I know its not something to boast about, but thats with some very grippy 195/45/15s!!! Previously, my old pads couldnt lock-up if I tried.

I'd say my stopping distance from 60mph is down by 25-33%
