YozzaSport Announces Scalable Brake Upgrades for RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS.
YozzaSport announces the release of a three stage brake upgrade package for the RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS range. The three stage upgrade consists of firstly, a YozzaSport brake bell with a two piece 312mm AP Racing Disc. The second stage uses the same YozzaSport brake bell but upgrades to a custom 330mm AP Racing Disc, using a YozzaSport caliper conversion bracket. The third stage removes the Brembo 4 pot caliper and replaces it with AP Racing 4 pot caliper ensuring that the 330mm disc’s braking potential is utilised completely.

Scalable Brake Upgrades for RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS.
With owners of Megane RS , 225, 230, R26.R, Clio RS 197 and 200 experiencing braking issues such as warped and cracked brake discs, brake overheating, pad material deposited on the disc resulting in juddering, pad fade and other issues, YozzaSport have brought forward their new brake packages for two of the most highly acclaimed road and trackday cars of recent years.
For YozzaSport, it is important, that these upgrades are scalable, affordable and are backwards compatible with the 2003+ Megane RS as well as the Clio 197 and 197 Cup variants, and as such we have designed these brake upgrade packages to fit behind the 17” Clio Speedline wheel that many road users have as standard, and that trackday enthusiasts prefer over the 18” standard wheels on the Megane RS.

Megane RS AP Racing 2 piece disc
This kit replaces the standard brake disc with a tangential cooling veined, 8 grooved, AP Racing 312mm disc and a custom YozzaSport brake bell.
The standard 312mm brake discs found on the Megane and Clio RS range are more than adequate for most road users, however, once the car is taken beyond the normal road limits onto the track or race circuit, the standard brake pads and brake discs are not as reliable due to the higher operating temperatures. Pad transfer issues, warped and distorted discs and caliper flex are some of the issues reported to us by customers.
The main purpose of the tangential vane design is to provide a cooling space between the disc braking faces, but if the vane design was a simple straight type or even a pillar design such as the standard OE brake disc, then the disc could become unstable at high temperatures. The tangential curved vane provide superior support to the brake faces over the straight vein and pillar disc design, and lessens the risk of brake disc warping / vibration induced by high brake temperatures.
The 8 grooves in the disc ensure that any brake gases and dust is expelled from the braking surface and also create a clean braking surface on the pad to offer maximum surface contact area with the disc/pad.
Stage 2 – 330mm AP Racing Disc & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – £829.99
Replacement Discs (Pair) – £499
Upgrade from Stage 1 – £669.99
Outright Purchase of Stage 2 – £829.99
YozzaSport 330mm AP Racing Disc and Adaption Brackets
This kit upgrades the brake discs to a 330mm x 28mm disc, whilst retaining the YozzaSport Bell from the 312mm kit as well as the OEM Brembo 4 pot caliper. With an increased disc size, there is increased stopping power, as well as reduced operating temperatures due to the design of the curved cooling veins within the brake disc. The AP racing casting is machined to specification for YozzaSport, with the grooves being machined into the disc to offer extremely high quality and high performance discs with the benefit of being a simple upgrade to our 312mm stage 1 conversion.
It is designed to fit behind a 17″ Clio Cup Racer wheel and clears the wheel shoulder with around 7mm to spare – as you can see with the picture here with a wheel weight clearing the caliper.
With YozzaSport machined brake adaption brackets included in the package price, as well as all of the brake fittings that are required to fit both the brackets and discs to the vehicle, the upgrade offers both outstanding value and performance. The brake kit is intended to be the highest level of performance that can be achieved without making the investment in an uprated four or six piston brake caliper for the Clio and Megane RS.
Stage 3 – 4 or 6 Piston AP Racing Calipers & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – starting from £629.99
Replacement Discs (Pair) – £499
Upgrade from Stage 1 – from £629.99
Outright Purchase of Stage 3 – from £1980
A P Racing Road and Race Calipers
For the ultimate on track braking performance for the Clio 197 and Megane RS the standard Brembo monoblock caliper, is not as stiff as a conventional 2-piece caliper. There are no bolts to connect the 2 halves of the caliper together; these help to reduce the distortion of a caliper under load. This means that the standard Clio RS and Megane RS caliper distorts more under braking and cornering producing the tapered wear patterns on the brake pad which some race and trackday users are experiencing with the standard brake components.
YozzaSport offer a full brake kit for the Clio 197/200 and the Megane RS 255/230 including the R26.R and F1 variants which utilise a variety of AP Racing road and race 4 and 6 piston calipers which are fully serviceable and offer the option to use a much broader selection of road and race pads over the standard RenaultSport/Brembo caliper.

Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport are pleased to announce the release of the new Bilstein B16 PSS-10 coilover kit for the RenaultSport Clio 172 and Clio 182. Intended to offer road and trackday enthusiasts as well as race and rally drivers an unrivalled coilover suspension package. Since 2005, YozzaSport have continued to develop their already acclaimed PSS9 suspension for the Clio RS range. We are now pleased to announce that our new Bilstein PSS10 front and rear coilover kit is now available.
Press Release here: YozzaSport Press Release
Working with Bilstein to develop the PSS10 kit, YozzaSport have opted for a front and rear coilover design more in line with race solutions used on Clio Cup race cars and VLN cars rather than use a separate spring and damper assembly as with previous designs. With a fully adjustable front and rear coilover suspension set-up the kit is versatile and it is possible to quickly adjust the damping rates with the suspension in-situ, making adjustments simple and highly effective. Andrew Hughes, owner of YozzaSport comments; “With many Clio 182 owners using their cars so aggressively on track, we had to develop a product that would cope with the demands, but needed it to still be lightweight, and simple to adjust. With the PSS10 you have everything in one suspension package”.
YozzaSport understand that a major requirement for motorsport users is to have the highest quality products, yet still enable them to be able to specify options such as spring rates. With a wide range of springs suitable for many different applications, as well as being able to offer shorter dampers for racing applications, we can offer a bespoke solution when necessary, at minimal extra cost. Hughes went on to say; “Until now, Clio 182 owners had to be satisfied with adapted road suspension, we can now offer them a full racing suspension solution.”
The use of Bilstein’s MotorSport proven upside down, mono-tube technology in the B16 PSS10 damper means that the Clio benefits from suspension developed and tested in the most demanding of racing environments. With their massive improvements to handling, damping and durability, the YozzaSport B16 are unrivalled in terms of build quality, reliability and versatility.
The manually adjustable damping monotube gas shock absorbers feature 9 or 10-stage precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The threaded body allows accurate adjustment of the front and rear progressive rate springs to achieve the vehicle ride height, center of gravity and level of performance handling desired.
The Bilstein B16 system puts the user in complete control of the suspension, providing the precise suspension adjustment formerly available only on race cars. From a weekend of competition to daily driving, this system provides perfect balance and handling performance. The Bilstein B16 system includes 4 mono-tube dampers with coil springs, and features: Monotube-inverted technology; Manual 10-stage compression/rebound damping rate adjustment; Height can be adjusted with system installed; Spherical top and bottom mounts on the rear damper units.
Priced at £2050+VAT the kit is available for: RenaultSport Clio 172 (Inc. Ph1, Ph2, and Cup), 182 (inc. Cup and Trophy) and coming in the New Year a kit for the Clio 197 and Clio 200 Cup.
The two new Bilstein coilover kits are viewable on the pages on the Yozzasport website. The Clio 172 Kit is available on our Clio 172 Coilover pages and the new 182 kit on our Clio 182 Coilover pages.

RenaultSport Clio Bucket Seats and Harnesses
Fitting: RenaultSport Clio Bucket Seats and Harnesses
RenaultSport Clio 172/182 Cobra Suzuka Seat and Subframe Installation
RenaultSport Clio 172/182 Cobra Suzuka Seat and Subframe Installation
YozzaSport have developed many different ways of fitting bucket seats and harnesses into the Clio Ph 2 (98-05) and into the Clio range as a whole, but until now, we have always lacked a definitive solution to people wanting to retain the standard belts and harnesses, as well as having the option to use harnesses.
We believe that after investing many hours into finding a solution to this problem that we are now able to offer customers an attractive product which we have presented below. The development of a new subframe, which utilises the standard RenaultSport (and non-sport) runners, we can fit buckets to the Clio without the hassle normally associated with this task.
YozzaSport have always been a big fan of Cobra Seats, and have been selling them since 2001 before YozzaSport was even born. YozzaSport’s demo cars have always run with either Cobra Evolution, Imola or Misano bucket seats. The Cobra Evolution is always a little too much for the road, but we have always felt that the Suzuka offers the best solution for a deep bucket seat within its price range.
YozzaSport Clio Cobra Subframes
The solution that we have developed is a really trick subframe pictured to the left here. The subframe has machined bushes fitted into the subframe to take a 4 or 6 point harness, as well as having the standard fitments to take a normal Renault seatbelt.
This means that to fit the subframe you quite simply remove the original Renault seat, remove the runners from the seat, remove the seatbelt clip and pre-tensioner device, mount the YozzaSport subframe, and then attach your new side-mounts and seats. If you want to use harnesses there are machined bushes within the subframe that mean that you don’t need to worry about re-tapping the sill or modifying the plastic trim. Quite simply – it is a bolt in bolt out job that is simplified to the point that it is worth paying the extra for an engineered solution rather than faffing about making one that half does the job and weighs twice what the original subframes came in at. With a weight of 3KG per subframe, you are also not worrying about adding unnecessary weight to the seating solution.
YozzaSport Clio 172/182 Welded In Harness Bar
A subtle welded in Harness bar - N.B. This bar is not in use - the seats must be removed when using harnesses.
YozzaSport have been welding in harness bars into cars since we have been supplying seats, and whilst it isn’t something that we do a lot of, it is something that we should do a lot more of.
In the picture to the left you can see that it is not intrusive into the boot space, but when on track, the rear seats can simply be removed to make a straight harness line to the shoulders/harness slot within the seat.
The rear harness bar also acts as a strut brace, supporting between the rear turrets, reducing rear roll and flex in the shell. The bar is roll cage tube, and is welded in once the shell has been cleaned, prepared and plated, both inside the car and in the rear arch areas.
We have tried a number of different solutions and have arrived at this product as the best answer to numerous requirements due to the simplicity and benefits to the vehicle as well as the safety aspect that the driver relies on.

Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Dampers ::For Sale::
Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Bilstein/RenaultSport Dampers For Sale – £750 a pair inc. Delivery
The dampers are the only used part of this kit – everything else is brand new and unused.

- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Damper
-
- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Damper Lower
-
- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Damper Upper

- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Dampers
Following on from my earlier bits for sale thread, I am listing these two pairs of Bilstein Clio Cup Racer Dampers separately.
One set is from the earlier Clio Cup 172’s (Silver) and the second set were used on the later 172 and 182 Cup Racers, however they are identical as far as I am aware apart from the colour. The silver dampers are slightly different lengths due to them being the earlier design – I can’t tell you why this is – but obviously this is not an issue, as the ride height is adjusted using the srping platforms. New the dampers alone are about £170 each, springs £60 each and the ancillarys such as the bearings, and everything else are about £250 per damper – So you are looking at about £1000 for a pair of the dampers new.
They fit the standard car and are fabulous for anything on track orientated – I actually ran them on the road for ages, but I am a little more hardcore than most – they were perfect with the vehicle that I was running, and were well rated and damped.
The Clio Cup Racers run with “Clio Cup” Eibach Springs – but you could quite easily update/uprate these with the Eibach. In this range the Clio Cup C-400 spring is the softest rate that Eibach do, but, this range goes up in increments of 50lbs at about £65 per spring.
I am not really negociable on the price, as everything in terms of parts is brand new. If you would like to pay on Paypal – fine – but you must pay the charges.
