Being trying to find information on this all night, with not much luck...

Basicly, i have a Clio RSI, with 238mm(i think) vented disks (Girling), am i right in thinking that to upgrade to the valvers 259mm disks, all i would need is the caliper carrier and not a new caliper. Then simply putting the bigger disks and pads back on, or am i just talking cod shite..?

Nice one for the confirmation Chris... another Q, what other Renaults use the same brakes as the 16v, just incase i cant find a valver in the scrapyard tomorrow..

Sorry to get back on to this, but i cant find any valvers with brakes on at the minute.

But i have seen a 95 Laguna 16v, which looked like it had the bigger disks, would the disks and brackets be ok to use off this for a straight swap?

if so, what pads do i need..

Cheers
