So 285mm disks can go straight on? I aint got a clue about breaks! What about the rear disks too?
Thay are with a standard car! Bit more power means a bit harder to stop!
Yeah mine are ok, far from bad! Its just theyre starting to fade a bit so new disks and pads seem a good option. Bigger disks look the sh*t behind your whhels too! mmmm Audi Rs4 Brakes droooooooool!
Calm down matey! Wow, ive got a bit more power yeah but obviously nothing special! Sorry mate, if you dont agree i wont change my brakes!

Mine were good enough (still are really).....
I just want to be able to outbrake F1 cars lol!
Drilled discs are cr*p imo, theres no need for the additional cooling that the holes give, it just means less disc contact with the pad.
Nothing wrong with drilled discs..for road anyway.
Im hoping to get the 310mm upgrade too but the price jump up from the 285mms is huge! £300 or something..

Sounds mint mate!
Rob - I didnt even think K-Tec did 310mm discs? The BB price is with VAT afaik.
Then again, yours is for the clio 2, mines the clio 1, dont know how much difference thatll make....

i have the 285 bb conversion and it hasnt let me down yet best mony i ever spent
yep standard calipers
but the way i look at it you may have 4 pots but the master cylinder is the same
i have been in a car 310mm 4 pots and they felt the same as mine do
Tom youre right they do 300mm, not 310mm. Found out k-tec use better spec calipers (dust sealed).
The master cylinder is a limiting factor but there would be an obvious difference between OE and a big brake conversion still. Depends how much you tested i guess, first of all they would probably never fade, and braking from high speeds will be better.
