[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 160144, member: 264"] Your GT has 54mm front caliper pistons, the same as a Clio 1*2. The RS133 has 57mm front calipers from a Laguna and the rears are Megane. Maybe the RS133 rear calipers also have a larger bore than the Clio?. [b]Edit - Now unsure of the GT having 54mm, probably 48mm, as per posts below[/b] Thinking now, the Twingo rear axle is the same shape/size as the clio, so Clio hubs/discs could be a better option as the piston sizes will probably work out better if you can swap to a 1*2 master cylinder? I don't know how long the clio hub/bearing is compared to the 133? Changing calipers or disc size can give some interesting results when the ABS or stability programs kick in. The Audi was lethal with ASC switched on as it applied what it though was a gentle amount of brake force to save a slight slip. Needless to say the resulting grab nearly spat you off the road :shock: not 8-) [/QUOTE]
