Can i use my standard calipers on a bigger disk upgrade? MY05
Anyone done this- any problems at all?
Anyone got any pics having done this at all?
Cheers

I fitted Bigger Godspeed disks using my standard Bugeye WRX 4 pot calipers (Godspeed suplied the fitting kit as well) plus braided hoses.
Worked pretty well too
The Ferrodo DS500 pads were VERY dirty so swapped them for some Pagid blues. Much cleaner, same performance IMHO but a bit noiser round town
You didn't mention if you have a WRX or STi

I changed my ibiza brakes for 312mm off the 225bhp tt. I got brand new disks, calipers, followers, pads for £225!!

I just thought I'd mention the Godspeed kit is currently in boxes in the garage while I tool around with my Tar-Ox 12 pots (lambo country)
.... 10 times VAG prices LOL

How can you compare standard parts against performance parts , VAG 312mm front discs can be bought for about £60 a pair from a motor factors , so yes they are cheap , Go and price up discs and bells from all the manufacturers and compare the prices , I think you will find the price above is not steep. You bought one piece discs ungrooved , and standard pads and single piston calipers , I guess £225 sounds about right.

Agree with that. Just looked expensive for 2 disks, a set of pads and a fitting kit. I think I may need to re adjust what I think is expensive!
