Default BREAKs let's talk !?

I've just ... Acquired some wilwood 4 pot superlite calipers ... Ok they are the older ones but I'm sure will still have ample stoping power ... Wanted to know what discs to run with them if anyone could give me an idea ? And what brakes do other people run ? I know the obviouse upgrade is cossie brakes.

Cheers.

Send your calipers and the discs you want to use to mark at mk motorsport and he will sort the rest. That's what I've just done with a massive set of brembos off of are xkr r for my cossie. The disc will need to be close obviously.

Its brakes btw

Think st24 is still 286 disc. I'd use mk3 Mondeo or st170!300mm stuff personally
