Can anyone tell me what the larger discs used on 5's in the larger brake conversion are from, or even better the best place to get them?

285's hmmm ktec sell some but thats dollor, CGB
but are they not made by AP? think thats right
renault 21 txi 2.0 ltr are the discs my friend and you need a set of caliper extenders to use them my local motorfactors are 25+vat per disc but not drilled or grooved
think gsf do the 21 discs to.
What you need to find out is what other cars have the same spacing ect as the 5 has, there is a whole list of Renaults and other cars with 280mm discs, clios, meganes and lagunas for example have them but not sure if there fit or not?
here is cgb ones

I know this is slightly off topic but, I found these K-Sport 286mm Brakes and thought they looked quite good.

I'm not sure how much they cost but, Apex Performance are UK distributors/dealer
did some digging and I found this place that sells the plain old discs online..

I'll bet there's a market for an adaptor bracket to allow you to fit 172 disks and calipers onto a GTT/16V hub. You might need a larger diameter master cylinder though, not sure
I'm with you there Andy. Even I can pick them up here in Oz!
Fit the callipers/carriers off a Pug 306 GTI-6 or a xsara VTS, they are the same bendix design as std but are bigger and have big beefy pads. They go straight on and suit 285mm disks. You'll need the master cylinder from a none ABS 306 though (22mm) as opposed to the GTT's 19mm one.
