STOP!!! (new brakes inside!)

[fmp_]

fitted all new brakes to the 172.

Did the rears a few weeks back, as a wheel bearing went, so i thought it was a good excuse to do the discs and pads too.


Went with K-Tec's disc and pad package, which i didnt realise till they turned up are genuine Renault discs that they get drilled.

Whilst doing the brakes i also fitted a stud kit

Ran it like this for a week or two until my 4 pots turned up

Just gotta get them bedded in now, ready for Brands Hatch PFC mag track day next friday!

Very nice piece of kit that,looks ace behind the wheels
Is there a massive difference in braking etc?

[Djw John]

Looks good, and purposeful!

One question though, whats the purpose of fitting the stud kit?

Cheers

 

[nath17t]

nice brakes! what is the purpos of the stud kit what is rong with bolts?

 

[d4ve86]

Stud kit makes wheel changes easier

looking good mat, hows the fit with the 2118s? any scratching?

you all need to get yourself some of these from renault, there for the rear but i can see them easily fitting the front. I havnt pushed them right in on the rear.

they look ace, how much where the 4 pots?

iirc around £800.

They do look good though

 

[fmp_]

in answer to the questions...

Kit is approx £800

Runnin gthem with Mintex 1144's, as not too keen on the Hawk pads Compbrake supply.

Still bedding them in, but feel strong already.

Disc is 295mm and fits behind the Speedlines, as long as there are no weights. Which my wheels must be perfect, as only got one or two small ones on the inside edge!

As menstioned stud kits make wheel changing alot easier. Not a problem for most, but i do a fair few track days, so lots of wheel swapping. Also you can get pimp titanium wheel nuts

 

[Middo]

would love a set of them on my car as they look fantastic. one day lol

 

[MarkCup]

They look very nice.

Useful info on the studs too. I'm going to do that.

 

[Ali]

Yeh, interested in the stud kit too...

 

[Neal 182]

Looks like the Studs kit of EBay the same as mine

 

[paul_h172]

stoppers look ace! how much improvment over the standards is there?

 

[Ali]

link?

 

[Waitey]

hehe can't beat titanium lug nuts!
