[Mikey_H]

will be doing this mod soon as have said befoe my bro's getting porche big break kit and i will be having his 312mm's are you just running vw disks and pads or have you upgraded either?? think i will be putting some nice disks and pads on mine when i get them

I got standard Discs from www.buypartsby.com for £50 for them delivered to the house for Quinten hazel ones. Can;t complain at that.

Easy enough job to do, although i'm not mechnically minded, so i got my mates up to do it. 35min for 2 people to change them.

I don't think there is any need at all for uprated discs and pads unless you are using them for track use etc.

ive not left 11marks yet my abs cuts in to much doing that. but im very pleased with them and easy to fit.

just wondering, if going fast down hill round a slight bend and and you have to step on the brakes with the rears locking up couldnt that end up throwing you off the road?

nah. i had the back out a few times under braking, you just need to steer into it, or the esp i had cuts in

Need to get my finger out and get a 18mm socket so I can get mine on.

I've got one you can have a loan of if you don't have one matey!

Cheers for the offer mate but I found one yesterday from when my old man was a mechanic so no excuses now. Just pity its not done yet as im doing an autosolo tomorrow night.

i'm very happy with my conversion no fade, fairly cheap to buy (got garage to fit tho)and look oh so good through the alloys!

are the 1.4 DAB breaks any bigger than like the sports? as 20 bhp might need bigger breaks or is this were the back disk comes in? as i would love to put rear disks on and make my breaks bigger... umm

The Dab has the same front breaks as the 1.4 sport and the sport has drums on the rear last time I checked. tbh I do not really notice much difference with the rear disks as appose to drums.
