How to Upgrade Brembo to bigger Brake Discs.

[Dyscontinued]

Stumbled upon this guide to fit larger discs to the Brembo setup

http://www.drivertuition.com/LeonCupraBrakes.htm

Takes them from standard 323mm up to 330mm.

Also I'm not sure (due to the unclear phrasing) but might be able to go to 345mm?

The new disc is also 28mm thick but is a larger diameter of 330mm. These are same rotors as used on EVO and Imprezza 6pot AP track upgrade. (A larger rotor could be used, up to about 345mm.)

woudl be good if you are thinking of tracking the car alot.
I have those Bell and Rotars on my Evo and it definitely knew how to stop with them!
Nice find

I have 330mm 2-piece discs on mine. Badger 5 bells and powervane rotors. You need a 3mm caliper spacer to allow for the bigger discs - badger 5 supply this as part of the kit. ~£550 all in for rotors, bells, spacers, bolt kits.

sitting down ??

£400 + vat but will last alot longer than normal discs.

dont suffer brake fade cause 2 piece discs wont get as hot

not bad is there any way you can convert the small poxey back disc to run a bigger disc? or do you have to upgrade the caliper as well?

Will be considering 308 rears, but me and phillc will double order keep the price down (maybe awesome group buy??)
I have 330s on the front and think you probably could go bigger
