hi..

im going to upgrade my brakes.. im going for 285mm

any of u got any good experience wit this... does it improve the braking A LOT or

and what should I go for.... Mintex, Pagid, Red Dot, EBC e.t.c

and doesent it give any probs when the caliber, ánd brake pads, only are made for 260mm????

 

Speak to Mike Rainbird,he can get you caliper spacing kits to fit 2wd cos discs so you can keep your standard calipers.

Make a big difference because there is more clamping force.

Go for Mintex 1144 pads

I've got this conversion on mine and it is well worth the dosh. It stops the fading and gives more brake feel. Don't go for race/kevlar pads if your using for normal/fast road driving rather than racing - cos these take a while to heat up to working temp and in normal town driving you can find yourself closer to someones rear end than you'd like to be! MAD-FOR-IT on 01579 320070 also do the spacers and some rather nice drilled disks to go with them for Ł145 - see http://www.mad-for-it.com/page3.html

 

I wouldnt recomend drilled discs if you give your car a thrashing,they have been known to get heat fractures quite often

I already got a caliper spacing kit... so i only need the discs and pads....

 

the best pads ive ever used are mintex 1155 they are not recomended for road use but ive never had fade with them
