[QUOTE="1975DCS, post: 54130, member: 626"] People don't get me wrong: I am not saying you need this in a car with this little weight and this kind of power, the same as you don't need coil-overs for your daily driving or even occasional track days. But in MY opinion I would rather have like a Clio RS Brembo kit with normal Renault supplied pads than a upgrade with mild competition pads and/or drilled discs. And braking does not only mean getting your car to stop once or twice from 120 mph to 0, as the OEM's will easily do that. But driving like a maniac downhill through the alps, even big brakes will overcook themselves. I don't drive like a maniac, but I still fancy those brakes! I don't want or like to make a comparison with Motorspot, but let's face it, ever been to the Rallycross in Lydden Hill? Those 950 kg Clio's come downhill with just 100 mph, they brake before the corner and the brakes are red glowing hot and these are 330-355 mm AP's! Most cars suffer from fading on Lydden Hill and this is a low speed sport with a lot of fast changes between full throttle and hard breaking. Sure these cars accelerate faster, but breaking from 100 mph, that's what we all do sometimes? But indeed you are probably never ever going to need such on a road even with a heavy right foot and yes there are more ways than one to achieve improvements! [/QUOTE]
