stop it

[clioturb]

what big brake conversion is best to use on mk1 clio's? just got off the phone to deamon tweaks - was quoted over a grand!!! - aparantly the cheaper ones are all shite so they stopped sellin 'em

im running 250bhp with 18 inch rims whats the best choice plz??

thanks for any help

mmmm brembo 4-pot conversion

ditch the 18's too, a nice set of 16s will improve the car no end, and bigger brakes will still fit under them

alternatively, i'm sure hi-spec do a decent set and willwood (not sure on clio fitment) have always had good reviews from people who have used them

apparently the high specs arent all that, and if you do get them, just get grooved discs, apparently the drilled high specs are prone to craching/snapping

weird post.

Nick Read's old one?

K-Tec and BB Performance both do pretty big brake conversions that'll be cheaper than DT.

Mark @ Ritchspeed also does a kit using 172size discs (280mm iirc) that are a fair bit cheaper still

I doubt it...Nick already had a big brake kit on his....

nah not nick reads, dont think so anyway, the car was first clio 16vT to be built by a guy called ben in essex i think.

was thinking about ditchin the 18's but it sits too nice i cant do it plus wont it just wheel spin more on set off?

plus wont it just wheel spin more on set off?

have you learned clutch control? wheel spin is just a side affect of poor control

 

[clioturb]

250 bhp + fast start = wheelspin

Get yourself over to www.willaimsclio.co.uk/forum and have a word wiht Mark Ritchspeed, he does 280mm (and bigger) Willward 4 pot conversions for the mk1 clios for some stupidly low price
