Buy the 225 rear suspension, brakes and wheels, in fact i believe you'll have to change the lot. Not required unless you've uprated the power ridiculously. You'd probably have to upgrade the brake servo and cylinder too. I'd forget about the brembo's, upgrade your discs and pads to EBC or similar, do your brake lines to braided ones and upgrade your brake fluid to high performance 5.1.

I'd concentrate your upgrades on the front first, you dont want excess braking force on the back, it will become uncontrollable!

Ooo, sorry i assume most people on this forum have the standard. In which case i advise meganesport.net, they'll most likely have more of an idea.
KTEC will be able to advise you on some aspects as they have a few meganes running over 400BHP.
However, i still advise you concentrate your efforts of the front first, you dont want the brake balance to be over at the back.

Big brake conversion from brembo would be a start. You'll basically be removing all the components down to the disc, and bolting the new parts on in place. Its really not a big or difficult job to be honest.

the front brembo`s will be enough, i have bought brembo drilled and grooved disc`c so that should be enough and with rear conversion will give enough stopping power, my scobbie was running 400bhp with 6 ad 4`s looking to get about the 300-350 out the megane when finished
