Managed to fit the Wilwood 4 pot callipers today, I also fitted some Clio cup racer brake ducts, these are genuine Renault items from the race series, being second hand they was a little battered but still do the job.
These 4 pots are so light, they each weigh 2.2kg the standard callipers are 5.8kg each, so a total saving of 7.2kg (unsprung weight).
The DS2500 pads I ordered need slight modification, 2 grooves needed to be cut out for the retaining pin, a 2 min job with the grinder.
Pad having grooves cut
In situ
Wilwood 4 pots
Cup racer brake deflectors
Ducting, from Cup racer air duct
Next job will be bleeding the brakes...as soon as I find a 1/4 spanner :/
Regarding the weight of the car, with the removal of the head lamps (2.5kg ) and the callipers (7.2kg) this makes the Clio weight 881kg
