and is this just with the 280mm upgrade ?

nissan 4 pots can be made to fit quite easly.

as for that TSR brake upgrde kit  - in sorry but there is no desing in that its just caliper spacers and disks.  i don't think youd even have to get a pen out at any point in the desing stage

Depends, finding and having discs made was not easy.

Those big numbers are nothing without a bigger MS as i found out.

Just 280mm it and fit a bigger MS FTW

Good point.

Massive discs with standard calipers, not sure, bigger calipers and discs with bigger MS = WIN

Forgot to mention the bigger MS in my setup(mk2 16v)... Certainly not over braked but they are very affective.

with the setup's ive looked at im defo not going to be over braking imo but would improve the feel a lot..

Danny you got any info on running nissan 4pots as they are cheap as feck.. (all my mates run jap)

iirc mounting hols need drilling to a slightly diffrent size and diffrent centers, 1mm bigger and 1mm closer off top of head

the carrier needs some adjustment to get the calliper running centeral on the disk  its ether packing the carrier off the hub or the caliper off the carrier cant rember what way round.  200sx calipers or s14 i think

i rember makeing a set fit for someone and it wasent much work bit was a while ago so cant rember the specifics     sorry

Are you saying that a F355 only runs on such small disc's.. I find that hard to understand...

I've sold hundreds of Porsche calipers to Audi & VW guys over the years and seriously looked at fitting Porsche 986 boxster rears to my MK2 and after much research found that I would be overbraking the car as it don't have ABS and the lockup's would be never-ending.. So opted not to bother, and stuck with stock...

One Question are the 355 calipers Monoblock or 2 piece (bolted together)?? If the latter just don't bother as stated before they are a b!tch to get them 100% working and corrosion is a mega issue ask an Audi RS2 owner...

[tech1889]

dont quote me on this but i believe they are monoblock.. and they are the calipers from the rear of a 355 as they are tiny
