    Track day brake advice

    DS2500 are great all-round pads. Fantastic on road and not too bad on track but I did overheat them at bedford and ended up knackering the discs as a result. If I was buying another pad I would be looking at pagid or performance friction

    Do 197/200 front pads have wear indicators?

    There's definitely no wear sensor on the clio. The megane uses the same caliper so I'd be surprised if they have a sensor. Check you got the right pads!

    Brembo HP2000's vs DS2500

    DS2500 are good, they do overheat on the track if you're a heavy braker though

    My Ultra Red 197 - Update - Trackday Photos

    I bought black stickers from eBay, loads of people sell them in different sizes so measure the standard logo and buy one the same size. Stick it onto the red paint and lacquer over the top.

    Mine was owned by a woman in her 40s before I bought it, seen quite a few older people driving them around here too

    Akrapovic on a 197

    I have some jamsport tips on mine, they were made for Mike's supercharged beast before he got his 200 diffuser

    Fitting springs is easy!

    Just undo the bolts at the bottom of the shocks, rears take literally 10 mins to do both sides

    Front brake judder

    I had something similar on my old discs, ended up with a pad shaped imprint on the disc which never came off, no matter how much hard braking I did. I read into it and turns out the rust spots cause very local hot spots on the disc (as they're raised so see more friction which means more heat)...

    Rattles

    Mine rattles loads but that's what happens with coilovers, extra load tyres and the rubbish roads around here!
