cool thanks pal im new to the site
I think some caliper extender brackets and renault 21 txi discs are a good upgrade.
Not done it myself but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

£80 and thats for drilled and grooved not plain
Put a wanted ad up in the classifieds for the caliper extenders. Tuners used to sell the discs and extenders as a kit not seperately bur someone might have a set knocking about.
I still have the drawings/dimensions for the extenders and had a batch made in a group buy years ago
Thanks for your help
Anyone offered the 172 front brakes up to the 5GTT hub? The 21 TXi discs are a good fit @ 285mm but the hubs are different and hence the calipers are very different fit wise.
I can't help but note that the front discs (280mm) would fit on a 5/9/11 etc hub, and the actual hub arrangement is pretty much the same as the 5 one. Balljoint, wishbone, track rod, shock etc etc to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if the hub casting was interchangeable as it is between the 5/9/11/19 and so forth.
Are we missing an easy 280mm brake upgrade here? (I'm too lazy to go outside and try it myself lol, its WET today!!
It can be done. I have some adaptors lying about to bolt a 172 caliper onto valver/5 etc. Hub....
Are for sale cause i'm going 4-pot...
Cool how much mate?
I bet the bearings are different between the 172 and GT hub
