Hi guys, iam looking to upgrade my brake discs.

Iam going to be using my standard calipers and ive got 19" rims fitted not sure what size i can go up to, any ideas most welcome.

With out looking daft and sticking a massive disc with a small caliper i went for 315mm discs and i would say that is about the limit you can go with out the caliper looking to small

hi matey

 

i have got 350z track discs (brembo) with relocating brackets and standard calipers on 18" wheels, currently running ferrado 2500 pads which squeal like a pig when hot:rant::eek:

good stopping power for a cheap price.

 

al.

I've got 18" rims on my black car, I managed to fit 345mm discs, stock calipers with relocation brackets.

 

The difference is phenominal.

 

 

Before.

 

 

 

 

 

After :D :hyper:

 

 

 

 

 

 

A closeup. Bear in mind these wheels are 18" there's not a lot of room left :eek:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old vs. new comparison :wack: :smash:

Wow they are monsters, What about the rear brakes what sort of size can i fit.

what discs have u got on the front dunk?

Hi, car.mad, stuning bodykit, its the best looking one ive seen for a zed i must say really suites the car, iam i right in saying you made it yourself.

Here you go this is what i got http://www.db-power.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=128_148_230&products_id=272

 

This size is the best to keep the the look of the car balanced

 

Or do what ive done 356mm all round. Thats stoping power :eek:

They are one piece and the center is sprayed gold so they will never rust. ;)

 

These were my old set up bought off the link above. so they were nice and cheap and hassel free to fit, just bolt on and go :)

 

 

New set up :)

 

You should be able to see what i mean now the the caliper size compaired to the disc. it would look a little odd imho

I miss those Rays wheels.

They did look good didnt they :(

Really light but a bugger to clean

You should try cleaning mine if you think they are a bugger to clean!

al.

They look piss easy!!

 

These are the hardest wheels I've ever had to clean because of the recessed bolts.

cheers matey,

Try the volks, they had a funny finish on them and every time you wanted to clean them you had to get the tcut out :wack:

I used to have the split rim versions of those. They had chromed centres on them and the inner parts of the wheels, not the faces, were hard to clean too.

 

324mm disks with stock calipers and 19" rims, massive diffrence, even when running crap pads, god knows what it would be like with 100 quid a throw pads.

 

You need to bear in mind that when you do a brake upgrade, that beautiful space saver you normally have in the back will not fit on the front anymore, so budget for another wheel and tyre, or join a good recovery company and get a Soduko book to fill out whilst your waiting for them to turn up.

Never thought about that, good point, is that the voice of experience? :D

just getting rid of green flag at the minuite, anybody recomend any good recovery companys, all it needs to be is recovery to any uk address, dont need anything else like home start or replacement car stuff, just for 3 cars and 2 people. only checked rac and AA and worked out to be about 100 quid, green flag wanted £175

Nah, if it's a front puncture, take the rear wheel off and fit on the front and the space saver goes on the rear. Even with wider rears ( excluding wide arch jobs) nearly all would go on the front as a temp measure till your home etc.
