Most common brake upgrade?

Billet.

There the cheaper ones but I'm
Not worried about cost just want good ones that will last

they great kit. the monster is basically technical differences such as larger pad area & larger pistons.
in my opinion the billet kit works better with the standard master cylinder bore size & 325mm kit with those billets is more than enough, you would be best spending more cash on a 300mm disc/bracket kit for the rear to help maintain some braking balance.

As above but with a difference


You can buy a big disc conversion from hispec which is the 2 discs, conversion brackets and bolts. These kits use the stock calipers and if the calipers are in good nick then you could buy a set of carbotech pads and fit those in the stock calipers.
With the combination of larger disc size coupled with the carbotech pads your braking force will be significantly improved as there will be less effort required to stop the larger diameter disc especially with the carbotech pads fitted, this will be fine for the odd track day and much improved braking performance otr. Also the discs will cool much quicker so if you bleed and refill the system with high boil point brake fluid think you will save yourself a load of wedge as you should be able to buy that outright
So another option for you

Ok I understand what you mean Mr b makes a good point,
Bob that confused me lol, but I think I got what you meant, just buy the hispec disks and keep by callipers and then get carbotec pads for my standard callipers???

Carbotec pads are very good if pick the right ones for your needs, but can create a lot of dust that needs cleaning off save damaging your wheels.

Yeah been told there are good just get really dusty and can squeel a bit

yes its a big disc front kit hispec do, as you said above but you get new caliper brackets too as the bigger discs will mean the caliper is extended outwards from stock position

Ah ok so the kit is disks and bracket got you now, do you know rough prices on them??

no but certainly far cheaper than a 4 pot kit
give hispec a call and they should give you a price there and then

Ok Bob thank you and I will give them a call, btw I just pm you

Let us know on the price deane ...

Ok will do, phoning them in the morning as was busy at work today and didn't have a chance

What is it you do deane ???
