eh up gents, quick question, a few years ago i remember my mate buyin a big brake conversion for his saxo, the kit used the original caliper but had a bigger rotor and a bracket to space the caliper out to accomodate the caliper, just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that does these types of kit for the rears on an fd??
treated myself to a lil brake upgrade:Giggle for the fronts which are now on a plane from new zealand to me and wanted the rears to look and perform a bit more beefy!!:Tongue1
any ideas fellas? cheers

I\'d be tempted by that. What make are they? Is it a straightforward replacement - or might it catch the wheels?
You could fit rz rear brakes.

Everything is supplied, so you receive all of the brackets etc
You just need to decide whether you use the goodridge hoses, and which pads you want.

Can\'t you swap the front brakes to the rear and then bolt on bigger fronts? I have heard that being done as it keeps the brake bias as well as reducing the cost :)
Brunswick did this, so yes it can be.
But you dont keep the handbrake so officially it wont pass an MOT
It also took an awful lot of work to do, and unless you have a macine shop I wouldnt recomend it! But then it also depends on whether you like a challenge or not!
