July 2008 'Ring Report

That size of rotor only fits behind 17-inch wheels or bigger, and I don't really want to stick wheels that big on the Clio. I'm hoping I won't need that level of kit on the Clio anyway - it should only weigh 800 kgs when finished so I'm hoping that my Wilwood 4-pots and standard discs will be up to the job!

my wilwood 4pot kit(runs 259mm discs) was spot on at nurburgring, same with bayliss, no issues at all there!

Great. That is what I had hoped for. I presume that the rears are standard calipers as well?

APs now fitted to the car so she's ready for the next trip:

yeah rears are std just newish, only difference with mine is i have a in car tilton bias valve, bayliss still has std bias valve but no problems at all!

[stevie_b]

Great, thanks Richy. I have a bias adjuster (AP screw type) on mine as well. Do you find you use it to wind pressure off the rears, as I've recently read a few people saying they use it to take pressure off the fronts so the rears have more of the pressure! My Clio is completely stripped in the rear, with a fibreglass tailgate, poly windows, etc. and therefore much lighter there so I can't imagine I'd want to do anything other than reduce the pressure reaching the rears?

[richy]

yeah i do have mine reduced a little as theres generally little weight in the back, stop them locking up so easy
