Can anyone tell me if the calliper used on Clio race cars is any different to the brembo used on the road cars? Am I right in thinking they are mono bloc where ours are 2 piece?

 

[Lemon]

Think so and something to do with seals maybe

 

[Bahnstormer]

I thought so too. Don't suppose you know where I can find more info?

Have you tried typing , Clio cup racer spec in google, you never know mate

 

[R26.R Steve]

I was talking to a guy a few months ago and he did tell me that the brakes were all standard apart from better pads and don't quote me on it but I'm sure he said the were DS 3000s

No - they use DS1.11's on the cup race cars. Ive seen a Megane with them fitted and it got me wondering.

 

[Lemon]

If your on cliosport go ask there

 

[Bahnstormer]

I did. Weird place.

 

[Shippo]

I'll ask my mate he works for team pyro to be sure
but I thought they where just uprated pads as already said

 

[Bahnstormer]

Photos would be great. I wonder if the pots are bigger? Are the megane road car mono's or two piece?

 

[Gray]

I am 98% sure they are the same calipers, they simply run different pads.

 

[conley]

Same caliper.

 

[Bahnstormer]

Are ours mono blocs then? Because I thought the cup race cars were

Depends on what you understand as Monobloc. If you mean the caliper body is machined from a solid billet, then yes.

 

[Bahnstormer]

Thats exactly what I mean. Ours aren't two piece? (My car is in my workshop).

Correct. Single machined billet for your Megane.

I would not have thought they were machined from a solid billet (they would end up costing a fourtune), I have made a lot of tools for AP brakes and they are all cast even the veyrons brakes are cast they only machine the areas that need machining.

Correct, so how about machined from a solid cast billet.

 

[Bahnstormer]

As it happens Brembo do (perhaps not on ours) machine from solid billets of aluminium. Both options of forged and cast brakes are made.
