rtbiscuit Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 no need for new brakes for now, just clean the bell housings on the discs and paint them. personally the easiest way to fix the overall look would be to change the wheels to ones that aren't so open and a 2nd hand set of brembo's. I was kinda hoping you guys wouldnt say to change the wheels, as I do really like them!! lol Would you not even reccommend buying new larger discs (just standard ones)?? As I do agree that the discs look a bit small. Cheers if you like the wheels then i'd save up for a big brake kit not as cazy a price as you'd think. look at D2 or k sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Alternatively, look at Nitrac or HiSpec http://www.nitrac.co.uk/ http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunc1n1101 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Jeezo, just been looking and getting quotes for BBKs!!!! Think I might even have to just sell the wheels and shrink down to 18s or something!!! Seems to be cheaper than getting BBKs Whats your thoughts guys???

Ekona Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Have you seen the prices of 20" tyres? That may make you consider selling them and putting some sensible size ones on sooner than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I would go for 18's - the oem forged Rays upgrade wheel is a good wheel. It's light and suits the car. Expect to pay 450ish with half decent tyres though. I don't know how much the Brembo reconditioned caliper upgrade is but I can't see it being much more - if you really like your wheels it's an option. Don't forget to factor discs and pads in though, which will be at least another £300 plus fitting.... Either way, it's desirable to upgrade those puny JDM brakes Expensive things these performance cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are budget 20" tyre options, commonly called ditch finders for a good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
