My Renaultsport RS250 track/road/ring tool

.
So cars had new wheel bearings, front end respray, 18x9 oz ultraleggera and a damn good clean but I'm now getting a clunk/click on turn which may be cv joint? Passenger side outer (thinner end) was loose but no grease could be seen anywhere so need to have a good inspection of that. New rear discs which with £125 discount still came on a whopping £190 ouch! But they do include the wheel bearings with them too so not bad, also a set of yellow stuff rear pads all ready to be fitted before track day at Bedford Autodrome on 19th November
If you had a Cupped RS which discs and pads would you go for over the standard ones. Mine squeak. I was going to go with Jhooks and DS2500s when my standard ones are done but now wondering which you would prefer.
Also suspension wise is the car better with a little negative camber as I find the standard cup setup a little odd with no camber. handles very well standard but feels as though it would really benefit from negative camber.

Hi Mike discs wise I'd stick with standards they do the job perfectly but I'd go for the plain discs as they make a lot less noise and speaking to a lot of German owners at nurburgring they have all gone to plain discs. Pads is a very personal choice but look at carbon lorain rc5+ pads they are highly rated in Meganes for fast road use with some odd track work too.
Suspension wise if it's a road car I personally really loved my cup shocks with HnR springs but the standard top mounts won't allow adjustment on camber which I do think Megane benefits from having, I currently have 3 degrees up from but will be dropping it down to 2.5 to make it a little friendlier on the B roads

Fantastic weekend with track day at Bedford Autodrome with my pals and the was insane once again. Car deffo needs a proper set up which was ore evident today when I was at the trackobsession power to weight shoot out and the car weighed in with half tank of fuel and without me in it at a whopping 1396kg and rolled 311bhp 366lbs torque so basically what she made at rstuning well over a year ago. Corner weights showed even without me in the car it's heavier on drivers side and they said it would really benefit from a corner weighing. Videos and pics up shortly
