You could be right im really not sure, maybe they were an option.
Ah i forgot to mention that i have had the brakes fitted!
They are awesome mate, great pedal feel/bite and i havnt managed to fade them at all yet  lol, they do need a bit of heat into them before the perform at their best. I cant reccommend the setup enough to RS owners tbh.

What did you do about a horn button when fitting the wheel or are they on the stalks on the cups?

Alright mate, hows the 172 going?
I got the disks and pads from ktec, the lines from Revolution, and the fluid from opie oils, its a fantastic set up i would defo recommend it for yours.

No need for that imo, the original was less than 20 quid and has lasted 45k
More updates to come over the next couple of months

Cheers, not so much a big differece in power although the cup has alot more useable torque. In the corners it shines over the saxo and the brakes are 1000x better than the vts', its also made slightly better (slightly lol).
They are both epic'ly fun little hatches mind and i would have another vts anyday if my circumstances ever change.
Anyhow i have fitted that exhaust mount and the knock from the exhaust whilst going over speedbumps is now gone.
Wheel refurb next on the list

Yeah they are a 'choice' mod on cliosport mate.
Tom from wests renault is selling the sach shocks from a trophy at a great price for all 4...it would be the first mod i would do to a 182. Maybe look into them
