This the same format of parts used from the 2008 until the last model version in 2013. This only for the RS133 model

The brembo calipers do not require any machine work. This is done for the gravel set up when used on 15" rims ONLY.
The brembo calipers will not fit on the standard wheels of 17" or 16" or 15". The caliper will catch the wheel, So to get round this we machine the bolting area and parts of the caliper. This is also done at RS France in advance. If you order the RS200 calipers and the puremotorsport caliper brackets this will not effect you, unless you plan to use 15" wheels. I seen people saying you need to machine the calipers. This not needed if you are going to use 16" or 17" wheels from speedline corse range.

Parts Needed with suppliers name: Make sure you order left and right for everything.

Brake Servo:
If you change from stock RS calipers to the Brembo the brake servo can NOT fill the caliper quickly enough. You have worse brakes then on the RS. It will need two strokes of the pedal to get the true capacity needed. You must flush the brake lines starting at the brake furthest away from the servo. In my case been a LHD R1 that is the right passenger side rear caliper.

Tyres:
195/50/r16 - Pirelli RK7 Motorsport Tyre - Rear Tyres - soft - psi 24- 26
195/50/r16 - pirelli RK5 Motorsport Tyre - front tyres - hard - psi 26 - 28
these are not road tyres. please contact protyre in the UK for ordering. These tyres only fit on the EVO Course wheels.

heat shield:
There is updated part to protect the ball joint rubber from the heat of the front disk. Its a simple fix but not require for street car.

pad scrub in:
200 kiliomoters of cold braking followed by hard brake to stop.

Once all this is dont you cup suspension can not handle the wider track and grip so you need to change the suspension. If not the car will be to pointy and reacts to quick to driver inputs. Hence why we use Ohlins 3 way to carlm the car down. If done correctly you car will drive as good as expected ( like its on rails). You must consider all the upgrades and not just one of the upgrades.

im not able to post the pictures for some strange reason. https://web.facebook.com/RS.R1.R2/
 
Some very good information there and thanks for sharing. I wouldn't be running hards on the front in all but the hottest of days in the UK as you can't get the heat into them.
Also may be worth mentioning that the rear beam is a known weak spot on competition cars and that the rear wheel barings overheat badly and dicintergrate. Pure motorsport offer a solution for both.
