Looking into a group buy for oversize rear brake conversion - anyone interested?

[Gentle Ben]

Already broached this subject in Tech.

Anyway I am planning to give a few companies like Hi-Spec a ring with a view to having an oversize rear brake conversion kit made.

I highly doubt they will agree to make one just for me, but having a few people interested in a kit will work in my favour.

I'm sure across all of the Renault forums I can amass enough interest, especially seeing as how people seem to be getting bolder and more daring in their quests for increasing power.

If there's anybody on here that would be seriously interested in taking part in a group buy, should I be able to negotiate something, please add your name below:

Post up some info when you get it, as you know i am interested

 

[Gentle Ben]

I will do mate, however I kind of need a rough idea of the numbers interested to use as a negotiating tool!

I have posted up on RSC and WilliamsClio.co.uk as well, in an attempt to court interest in a group buy.

the rear brakes on the lag II are 274mm

 

[Gentle Ben]

Yeah but do they mount on a 19? And I'm presuming Lag's are 5-stud?

 

[Chris H]

apart fromt he 4 stud ones with steelies.

The front brakes are available in 280, 300 and 308.

I haven;t had a chance to get right into them but it looks like the 280's are the stock 4 stud and the 300 and 308's are the 5 studders

 

[Gentle Ben]

So basically you're saying Lag II front brakes but on the back.

 

[Chris H]

no I was saying the lag brakes are 4 stuf and that the fronts with 4 stud are only 280 so you can't use the 300/23308's unles syou go to 5 stud

 

[Gentle Ben]

Meh, can't be arsed to do that, means getting new wheels.

 

[Chris H]

after doign a lot of lookign apparentl all laguna II's are 5 stud, so to get the 274mm rear breakes and the potential 308mm fronts you need to go 5 stud for sure

 

[Gentle Ben]

Well fronts are sorted already and they're better and 4-stud so not changing PCD just to get a better set of rears!

sounds kinda interesting thow.
what would be need to convert to the five stud, hub and Shock or would the 19 shocks fit obviously new wheels needed
