Default 4X4 Front brake upgrade

Now this Cossie has std fronts apart from pads and uprated discs!

So run thru the options guys...i dont want to spend a fortune on a road car...i am after anything 4pot or 6 pot 330mm to 355mm i am not an AP snob, i know they are the best put too expensive unless second hand.

(PLEASE PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING 4X4 UPGRADE FRONT BRAKE WISE PLEASE!)

My wheels are old school 17 inch comps i think the same as those rainbird ones i had and they fit ap 6pots and 355's.

Cheers

get some focus rs brembo calipers and make some brackets up to fit with whatever size disk you want, cheap upgrade and works well, and its still RS bits which is cool

almost, except that's not for 4wd cossie fitment

not sure they'd be a bolt on fit either as the bell is a lot shallower on the 4wd cars

there is "from memory" another 8mm furhter offset on the 4wd cars as opposed to the 2wd cars, so you'd need to have an 8mm spacer fitted or custom some rims to get around this

why don't you want to spend a fortune? if you did, you could put up a post telling everyone how much money you've spent on them, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the value of your m5, amg, duke and jetski

....then another thread saying how amazing they are, then another thread asking why people are hating on you for buying APs, before a final thread saying how much they are to buy because you're breaking the Saph.

19mm difference, 2wd are 55mm offset and the 4wd are 36mm offset.

i was referring to the caliper lug offsets, but even then, 19mm is a big amount if you can simply bolt the 4wd calipers to a normal hub with 2wd discs
