Hey guys just wanted to know if. Anyone has upgraded their brake disks and callipers
 
Different discs, pads and calipers mate.
What do you want, standard size but uprated?


I'm not sure pal the standard size discs are 284mm and I've seen Tarox drilled and grooved discs for around £270 and the brembo ones are near enough the same price so I think I'd rather keep the same size discs but possibly better callipers and pads ?
 
I'd guess they were 305mm, it's a standard size for brembo. The upgrade wouldn't be cheap but from higher speeds no disk or pad upgrade is going to come close.


I'll have to have a look at them and see what the price is like

Set of Abarth Brembo 4 pot calipers on there.... thats a massive upgrade... will come at a rather large cost though!

Only managed to have fade once in my car.... and I think that was the pad material as no different pedal feel.

Im currently running the SS Ferrodo DS2500 in these on my car

EDIT: The discs are 305mm that go with these, so you will need a lot more extra bits as stated by someone else above in order for them to fit.

My brakes are some of the most most efficient and harshest I've ever driven with. Why are you looking to upgrade?

I agree that there's nothing wrong with the standard brakes BUT having had the brembos on a previous car I can safely say that they are in a different class. In fact they proved too good one wet night when I stopped (not my doing, car in front hit a dear and panicked) and the car behind sailed helplessly into the back of me writing both cars off.
