what cars do the 285mm discs come from for the big brake upgrade, caliper extenders i already have, will i need the matching pads or do i use my originals.

The pads are just standard R5 GTT caliper fitment (So nothing bigger) just what ever brand you fancy or re-use your originals if loads of pad left, The 285 discs I think are off a Renault 21 TX or something like that which have the 4 x 100 fitment like the R5. I think Ricardo got some off a 21 for the white R5 had which he has recently sold to shopboy.

TXi.... Just make sure its the 4 stud (4X100PCD) as most of the 21 range are 5 stud.

Errr.... Oh. My brains confused now. I MAY be getting mixed up with the enlarged throttle body mod for 21 turbos.. thats deffinately off a TXi.

Ricardo's our man...

Renault 21 TXi 4 stud, i paid £65 for a pair from Unipart.

Google Brakes International for prices, obviously 285mm but mention this as they also do a 265mm disc for a TXi too

That's the beauty of the caliper extender, you get an extra 47mm in diameter and still utilise the GTT calipers and pads. They just bolt onto the hub and the caliper bolts to the extender, easy
