13" will only fit original brakes. And what big brake?

Not sure, off a car being broken on facebook turbo owners page.

Most big brake kits are 285mm a few 288mm, the standard 13" alloys will not fit.
Most 15" Alloys will, but some dont depends on the wheel and spoke design.
The big brake kit discs off the Renault 21 have a funny offset which doesnt help matters either.

Thanks for the heads up .

Wilwood produced a 255mm 4 Pot kit that fits under original 13" wheels, but haven't seen a set come up for a VERY long time...

Their website is poor. I just went to the brakes section and there are no listings for any cars, which we know is not correct. However, the car-specific drop-down menu lists loads of Renaults but the GTT is not part of that list so maybe they've given up totally on the 5. You might need to ring them to find out if they still supply the kits. It might be better to search the RTOC boards as there are a lot of cheaper, Renault-based options available. :agree:

I will say it because it hasn't already, the standard setup is very effective when working properly. You'll be amazed at the difference a good set of pads (DS2500) and some new Discs will do. Don't go straight for the bigger is better option. Quite often, some ducting is more beneficial than going up a disc size.

We run this set up before changing to Wilwood 4 pots.
