But surely bigger discs means better braking!

#259: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Daniel206RC, Location: Oslo, NorwayPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:00 pm ---- Jamie, this has the same offset as the 180 discs checked it now.
mattie are you sure it's the same calipers? I don't think you can get 302mm under the orginal 180 calipers.
#260: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:01 pm ---- So getting C4 VTS discs would be doable then?
#261: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:03 pm ---- Yea will be getting new pads and discs Rich
When i bought them the guy said there the same as the 180's and 307 HDi's
Looking at the gap thats actually there i reckon you could get these under 180 calipers
#262: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:13 pm ---- the 307 2.0ltr petrol are 302mm but i have the 307 2.0ltr hdi witch r 283mm the same fitment disc as the 180, what pads are you going for?
#263: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:17 pm ---- Ah right, do you have a gap between the top of the disc and caliper then??
Not looked at pads yet tbh,, You recommend any??
#264: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:26 pm ---- haha they are in my bedroom freshely painted atm geting them put on next month, well jamie says Cl but i dont fancy payin £140+ for pads, im talking to kamracing now about some mintex pads what are the same spec as the ferodo 2500 but alot cheaper, so ill be going for the mintex pads,maxtourqe discs and (ss) goodrich hoeses with Cl brake fluid
#265: Re: Mattie® R3 Turbo *Front Brake Setup Done* Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:31 pm ---- cool man,,

Was thinking just run new lines and get s/s like you would anyway.
