Hi, i am interested in uprating the brakes on my Classic 96. What options are available? Nothing too expensive.
I have a set of these fitted (17in). The standard brakes dont look much behind them and the stopping performance is not great and what i expected of the car. Many thanks in advance.


Yes they are the rears before someone points it out.

Simplest upgrade would be to get 4 pots and discs off a later spec car.

Simply bolt on the front.

Are the disc sizes the same?
Anything that can be done to the rear?
Thanks.

Discs are different size and you'll need some new pads.

If you have 1 pot rears then I think to upgrade to 2 pots you'll need brackets to be fitted.

Can i put the standard fronts on the rear with brackets? Which discs would i need? And where do i get the brackets?
Thanks.

Ok, bracket question sorted.
What about discs and pads?
Thanks.

orbix

I believe the disc size for 4 pots are 295mm then you just need some pads for 4 pots.

Thanks for the info.
What calipers/discs do i need for the rear?
Thanks

if you get the subaru 2 pot calipers , and the 290mm discs to suit , Godspeed do a mounting bracket kit to fit these on , I seen them on ebay earlier for £99 which is cheaper than on there web site ;D

I've got a '98 UK car with Godspeed Brembo's on the front, 325mm discs, but still have the OE calipers on the rear, albeit with Godspeed grooved discs.

No problems so far. The rears do so little braking that upgrading is really about making them LOOK nice.........IMHO, of course
