V5 brakes?
« on: 02 February 2011, 12:28 »
Excuse my ignorance on this one but my brain isn't working today

V5 - did the later 170 come with the 312/256mm brakes?

Should be 312 and 256 vented rears, that's what's on mine anyway and that's 170bhp. Think rule of thumb is 16inch wheels=312mm brakes and 15 inch=288mm
