new brakes

I have finally got myself some brakes that are the right size
These are getting harder to get! And prices are rising too.
I just need to replace the bleed nipple. I snapped one off while stripping them down ffs.
Need to get some discs and spacers and then can fit them

can't go wrong with some akebono 2 pots when fitted nicely .
Like you say not as cheap as was, few years ago 30-40gbp could get decent set calipers complete with brackets & bolts so with cheap discs kit was possible around 100gbp mark.
I used some of these with outlander mounting brackets & galant 294mm discs & carbotech pads on road & track and they were superb for cost (carbotech pads almost twice price of my used calipers & new discs) sensible weight to as not stupid size discs and caliper sensible weight & very rigid plus floating caliper handles disc runout/warp far better than fixed .

Such as easier upgrade. Bet you cant wait to try them out Stu. Just remember -

Do you know what bhp different colour paints add woody it intrested as my ones are yellow i could paint them red for a few extra horses

They need to be red mate you are missing out on power

Hahaha i think i will keep them silver and miss out on the extra hp
MrB once i have bought discs and spacers i will be in around £130 thats not bad at all

Thats not bad at all stu

Silver will look nice mate

No that is cheap money currently really . What I like about then is choice of 276(280) and 294mm discs and fact caliper overhaul kits so cheap (11gbp) and discs potentially so cheap too making them cheap keep in good order. can warp dscs though unless spacer done well plus 280mm disc is 4mm too big so get 2mm wear lip on outer edge .

Silver or black looks nice, done mine black .

I still haven't got around to fitting these lol
I have everything tho
Decided to paint them the same colour as my car..

They look cool

Thanks mate
I have laquered over the decal too

decal is pretty sweet .

Thanks B

just get them fitted before that next emergency stop where need um :-P
looks almost oem with that logo lol .

what are these clipers off ? looking for this set up myself please help with parts list . Also will this set up fit under 16" wheel

Mitsubishi evo 1-3, FTO (GPX), VR4 calipers all fit along with mounting brackets. Brackets are the hardest thing to find at good prices nowadays. There's usually a few FTO Mivec (GPX) breaking on ebay. Otherwise the new brackets are around £75 EACH! Then you'll need 4 or 5mm thick spacers to fit behind the Clio 172 discs.

These are the discs you need:


You might luck out and get calipers & brackets from this:

yes, they fit under 15's too.


the only other thing you need to do is open up the mounting holes on the hub to 13mm then the whole lot bolts up. Do a search for 'clio upgrade' on here for more details

Haha
I will have them on in the next few months

thank's mate you're a star

I might actually put decals on my GTST calipers since yours turned out really well. Nigel ground them off for extra clearance, but he gave me a good deal on them so cant complain
