[nathan]

You dont need the front hubs for evo brakes to fit do a search and all will become clear. Kev.

i can get the hub and brake for nowt just thought it would be easyer to put the lot on rather than find adapter plates ?

 

[olliecast]

you won`t need any adapter plates.
searching bought up this:

I`m running them on mine. The discs need spacing out ~3mm (if you use clio 172 discs) then the holes in the hub just need opening out (can do it with a normal drill).
Ive got the washer like spacers to use for the discs and have just got my apapter plates surface ground flat so they`ll be going spare soon

are you finding they fade at all mate?
I`m not sure whether mine fade or its just the shite discs i`m running

Just noticed your reply ollie, when i was running standard 172 discs you felt a wee bit when they where up to temps.
But fitted a set of ebc grooved discs and noticed a big difference in the braking at warm temps buddy.

it must be my cheap discs then. There crap. If you break down for 80 to say 30 then they start "humming" soon as there`s heat in them. does my head in.

A suppose you get what you pay for matey.

which discs did you go to to solve it mate?
i`ve got these 115 quid carbotech pads but my discs can`t take the beating

 

[Davie Houston]

think it was ebc turbo groove or summit along they lines.
But the pagid blue sure know how to destroy discs matey.
My discs have lucky if they have done about 3000 miles and they are already chewed up!!!

But i think its just one of the things you have to deal with, i can live with replacing discs and pads aslong as i know its going to stop!!!
