Driveshaft and breaks

Hi

Tnx to Chris H I don`t have that much questions anymore, but still.

Which driveshafts are same or can be used on megane coupe ( 199 ? I need stronger, because of engine swap.

I have both driveshafts of 2.0 16v, but one of them is twisted, so I need new one.

I was reading the article of upgrading the breaks on megane 1.6 to 16v breaks. Can be used any other breaks (laguna, safrane, scenic...?).

Can I put 280mm disk on clio/r19 16v breaks?

Tnx
Simon

Chris@ You allready told me, that 1.6 shafts will be fine, but I think better be safe than sorry I might turbo it in a year or two ....

Do you think it`s too risky to refurbish twisted one?

Can I buy springs for 2l megane and put them on 1.6 suspension? Will 2.0 springs fit in directly?

Tnx for now ....

Sorrry mate I have no clue where I can mount it.

Can you please tell me.



I was looking all around the right side of the engine, but there is`t any holes for R19 mount to mount it?
Do I have to weld something?

Tnx

@Chris

Will 19 front mounting bracket be also good, because I have engine with AC?

Can I remove pipes off AC?
Where goes those pipes?

Yes I do, but power-assisted steering pump is elsewhere.
Will AC compressor be in the way?
