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.

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.

Cheers

Hi dunk,

 

how did you manage to fit those discs in? Build the relocating kit your own?

What discs are these?

I´m looking for a new frontbrake, would like to fit your system in my car...

Thanks for your infos!

if you look at dunks front discs, they look 2 piece, not sure tho.

 

come on dunk, what discs are they?

 

al.

 

Sorry for the delay, been busy lol.

 

The discs are 1 piece cast items. As an upgrade (lower weight) 2 piece items would be better, but I just wanted to prove if there was a benefit going to a bigger disc and it really is staggering. 130+ --> 70 takes no time at all, passenger almost goes thru the windscreen but I got a steering wheel to hold on to :D :D

Hello again, Dunk,

 

I cannot send you a pm, doesn´t work.

Would it maybe be possible to purchase a disc-brackets-set from you?
