ashford_ep91 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I only ask as I come from the Renault scene prior to me getting a Glanza. Many people fit the Brembo calipers from the Clio 197/200 onto the 172/182, and can be fitted behind 15" wheels. I happen to have both a set of calipers, and a set of the wheels in the photo. I'm taking my wheels off this weekend, so I'll have an offer up, and see how things look. These calipers can be had for as little as £100 a pair, so might be a nice alternative to other options.

jimmymac101 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 never seen it happen before but give a whirl you never know take some pics along the way James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Could make them fit with custom brackets only one way to find out isn't there haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashford_ep91 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'll have a measure up at the weekend and see what it'll take. I'll also offer up some 172 calipers and see how they look, the Clio runs 280mm discs so might work. The centre bore is slightly larger on the Clio disc, so I can offer one up as a trial fit.

morgey Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The biggest issue we have is the shallow height of the disc bell. Astra 280mm discs fit with a spigot ring so would be a good option. so Assuming the calipers are a 2 piece caliper and mount you will be able to have a new mount made to fit starlet hubs with them calipers and a disc of your choice.

maddox710 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Make sure you push the calipers pistons back all the way in so when you offer it up you can get a fairly accurate way of centralising against the disc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can get spigot rings in the correct size, 60.1mm for the Clio. The 172 calipers are 2 piece, the Brembo are a single piece 4 pot. Once I’ve measured up and they look like they’ll fit, I’ll speak to the maker of the Clio adapters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Piston area is another consideration Could end up really unbalancing the braking if it’s wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
