GIXXERUK Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 iirc Brembo discs are 324mm front 322mm rear ps... is that supposed to say greddy not greedy HKS - Moonface - Tein - Cusco - SPC - Hotchkis - Injen - Rays - Eibach - Greedy - Pioneer - Dodo Juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 do you mean width or diameter ? not that i know but it would help others to clarify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinS Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yea sorry guys, I am talking about the width of the disk and the front. 32mm diameter would be awfully small lol I know the standard with is 30mm just wonder if the caliper could handle an extra 2mm. That was typo buddy, thanks. Now I don't look like one of the fools who call it greedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to up the diameter and move to a 2 piece but can't on 30mm disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinS Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Custom "spacers" phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Custom "spacers" phil. So what diameter disc are you aiming for. When you say spacers I take it you mean new brackets to relocate the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Am I missing something, if its the same caliper, just moved further out to accomodate the larger disk, wont the contact area between the disc and pad still remain the same? Will moving that contact area further away from the centre point of the wheel (and taking advantage of the lower torque at that point) really make that much of a difference? I may well be talking complete nonsense and will be prepared to be educated on this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinS Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's for looks mainly but moving to larger disks I think should reduce the pressure from pads for the same braking which increases pedal feel and reduces heat. I know my stopping distance won't change (planning on doing the rear too) I'll hardly notice any difference so as said mainly looks. Oh and yea by 'spacer' I mean bracket to move the caliper out.
