I've got sapph cos 4x4 hubs, calipers and discs but i've managed to warp the front discs and not sure whether to bother upgrading.

The car is a chipped 24v so not gonna be putting out more than about 230 bhp and lbft so is it even worth considering a set of 4 pots and bigger discs?

I've got escort cossie wheels so recon I could get 315mm discs on okay.

So the question is do I:

1. just buy standard discs from a motor factors for about £45

2. Buy a set of cheap grooved discs - seen them for as cheap as £60! Are these likely to be any good?

3. Try and get a set of 4 pots and bigger discs?

Opinions please. Cheers.

What do you use the car for ? And how much money do you have to spend ? are 2 good starter questions.

My track car on greys and 2.2Bar boost is still on standard Cossy brakes and disks

No problems experienced with it yet

you can fit RS focus 324mm x 28mm disks using your ORIGINAL xr4x4 calipers (which are just as good as cos 4x4 claipers) . ebc do very bling grooved and diamond drilled disks for £130 a pair delivered.

if you have 17" wheels they will deffo fit and if you have 16" they will prob fit.

just need a couple of spacers - pm me for details.

Just because you have a certain amount of power does not mean you need bigger brakes.

Even on standard cars it is very good to have decent/upgrades brakes imo.

Now that you need brakes,get the best you can afford.

size matters

Thanks for all the advice. I only use the car for normal road driving and don't take it on track.

Pgt - I've sent you a PM. The prob is I've got a feeling they won't fit under my 16s. I have it in my mind that 315mm was just about the limit. Hopefully someone on here may know for certain.
