Hats, made by AP as well I gather
Yep I agree that wheel fitment will be the biggest problem and that is why I am posting here, to see who has this V-Sport AP Racing Kit and what wheels they run.
While I am at it I will say one dumb off topic thing.
Why does Renault put 312x28mm Rotors with Massive Brembo 4 Piston Callipers on my little 147.5KW(Crank) Clio RS???
If I went by the US Miata brake thread, I would be downsizing the brakes on the Clio because surely Renault had no idea what they were doing.
yes exactly that kit. its a road kit, not specific for race but will be more than enough with the right pads.
the reason i mention that they should be able to provide you the information is that if they would have sold any of those kits and should know who they went to and be able to get specs or at least point you in the right direction especially if they are going to get a sale out of it.
re clio i would say because thats what they could fit under the wheels for the budget they had from the bean counters. also fwd is much more front bias and needs more braking and heat capacity up front so not really apples for apples. what size does an 86 come with stock? similar power and weight to clio but closer weight distribution to mx5. either way modern cars have bigger wheels and brakes as a general rule as saftey standards increase over time as do stopping distances decrease.
), just that they can be engineered. I fully expect them to suffer from 'wear and tear from use', and if necessary I would replace them whenever the calipers get rebuilt, every year or two probably.
