View Full Version : Rear bigger discs/calipers?
Just wondered if anyone runs any bigger discs or even different calipers in the rear of there 5? if so what do you use? Calipers? Brackets? Size discs?

For me I see no need to go bigger on the back
I've searched in the past and iirc scenic discs are bigger and would probably fit.
Maybe there no real need apart from stuffing the wheels :D
im sure i read that it will cause problems with the braking ratio
Get what you mean probs is no need really just thought id throw it out there to see if anyones ever done it like
Hi im running 300 mm discs front and rear ,4 pot wilwoods on the front and standard calipers on rear more braking and fills the wheels up.car stops amazing well .

Standard rear fiscs do look tiny compared to my willwoods and big discs up front. My mate loves your car after seeing it at Scoffs last time.:agree:
What you do mate us extender brackets for the calipers? pics would be good :)

Rears dont really do that much so larger discs would be overkill I would think
I only put the bigger discs on to mainly fill the wheels it does stop well tho
