You cant use there road discs over 700bhp so how heavy are you talking about. You need disks with less cooling to keep them hot so temp differential is less when you try braking from very high speeds or they WILL crack. AP Motorsport department will advise.

But on a 2wd sapphire over 700bhp is pointless.

Well put your knickers back on and enlighten me to how it doesn't have any traction issues then as I'm clearly doing something wrong with a stage 3 saff with a gripper diff.

lol it has the very best of everything you can buy. Ask rod or mark how it's possible. I only have my knickers in a twist as if I'm honest the one trick pony it only go's in a straight line fast comments are so far from what's real it not even funny. If you went in that car your view on what's really fast would be changed for ever.

380 can deal with heat 23% longer than 330 ones which is what the question was about. AP Motorsport were horrified we were using there road discs & braking multi-times from 200mph they advised & supplied the correct discs.

You are doing nothing wrong at your budget. Proper beam with a solid Diff that really grips (Thats why the drag boys use them) Chassis connectors holding front to rear suspension, Modified Coilovers with twin Springs & 235 wide trackday tyres. The real trick is actually in the gearing of course you need massive Power to pull that gearing. Try 67mph in 1st, 102mph in 2nd, 151 in 3rd & 192mph in 4th & yes ive pulled all those speeds. Don't try pulling that gearing with less than 850bhp.

I thought this was about brakes??
Rod your car is a bit of an exception here.
No one else is interested in braking from 200mph....
Cheers Paul

the correct answer is "whatever you can fit inside your wheels" ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
if you have 18's then you can obviously go bigger than 330 in some cases
362's and 6 pots and i was ALWAYS braking too early on the track, and that's in a car that is going to be at least 20% heavier than the saph

Cheers for trashing my thread.
All I asked was advice where and what type of brakes are good for a 2wd cosworth and some how it's turned into a load of old waffle.

I asked this question a while back and I will be going with AP 6 pots and the biggest disks I can fit under 18" MOs or something like that. Can't ever have enough stopping power!
The 6 pots aren't too much more expensive than the 4 pots so why not just get the 6 pots and be done with it?!
I was also advised that 4X4 callipers and 300/320mm discs on the rear is definitively enough for any(fast road and track day) 2WD Saff, not 4 pots.
I understand funds are more likely the limiting factor but hey we're all in the same boat usually![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I was once told massive discs and large calipers can over brake a relatively light road car. And feel too much . So maybe bigger is not always better

if stoppers the size of dustbin lids are good enough for btcc cars they are good enough for road cars
