[mzafeer76]

Hi Guys,can anyone advise me on which 4 pot brake calipers are good enough to fit under 17's Volans comfortably without the need of spacers?

Thanks

You cant fit four pot brembos under volans.

If you are running 17" titans, comets or volans then you are running the biggest brakes you can under those wheels.

If you running 17" pegs or copy pegs then you can run 320mm discs with renault clio 4 pot brembos.

Or if you can run 336mm discs with renault clio 4 pot brembos under 18" pegs or copy pegs.

Not true. AP's fit behind Titans & Volans without spacers. Not sure about Comets.

I thought this thread was about a brake upgrade

Cheere guys yep do know that brembo calipers wont fit under volans was going to get a wilwood kit from the states but once i tried to measure up the volan with the template i knew a 330 kit is impossible.anyway whatever happened to that WMS Kits that were suppose to be made??

IIRC, Elliot ran the Stoptech kit on his R behind Volans without spacers too. Pricey though!!

Yeh there was a thread started by big dave t5 about affordable 4 pot brake kits which had alot of interest the guy had various kits that he was prepared to make,but that was a year ago dont know if any of the members went through with the orders of the Kits.

They used wierd and wonderful sizes of brake discs which could only be brought from them and cost a small fortune.

[mzafeer76]

I did see their size n prices weird how great the interest was and now they seem to be forgotten..talking about prices stoptech n AP are a fortune.

You get what you pay for, as the old saying goes!

[oblark]

I stand corrected, I`ve just been emailed prove that Renault brembos will fit behind Titans



The set up that I`m using is as good as the AP and Wilwood but cost only a monkey

You'll need spacers if your running one those brake upgrade kits with comets.

[mzafeer76]

Oblark didnt you have the renault calipers running with volans at one point?

Yes i was running renault brembos under volans BUT I had to use a 10mm wheel spacer.

With the spacer the wheel no longer located on thecentre of the hub but located on the wheel suds, this meant that I was limited to 60mph as anything faster the steering wheel would vibrate. That is why I`m now running pegs

Just FYI, 7.5j comets clear the AP kit. That's what Yosser is running on his Saffy S70R.

Are they the comets from a C70 then?
