Brake Upgrade kits

Just thinking how that conversation will go with the financial controller,
"Darling, I'm off up North to buy new brakes and then wear them out following a bunch of loons on a mystery tour"

Oh come on Andy you're not trying!

'Darling, I've been offered a marvellous improvement to our safety in the MG, I have to go up North to get some brakes fitted, but I'll be able to get them fully bedded in by the time I come back.' :lol:

I just upgrade my rears then a better alternative comes along

A couple of questions though

If I have AP's on the front and replace the rears with 300mm's and six pot calipers would the rear bias be too much

Also if I have AP's on the front would the new front 6 pot calipers fit my existing discs

If you can see were I'm coming from, how to I slowly change over to these brakes as they wear out

cheers

PS this does seem a bargin if you already have AP's, change over an bang the AP's on ebay

Right Jon, in theory you would be able to use these callipers on the 304mm 'AP' disc. Clearances would have to be checked in practise.
Even with the 300mm rears you would still use the 4 pot rear callipers to maintain the correct brake balance.

Arrr ok, but is there a 6 pot rear caliper?

Nope.

I would phone the wife when I'm there...
"Darling I had a problem with my car, the brakes stopped working but I managed to stop short of Scotland AND I have found a place that can fix it!"

Absolutely, I would believe that!:lol:

BTW, welcome to the naughty side!

Wow - this all sounds great :woohoo:

Will these be available in different colours?

I believe that the callipers are silver, but may be available in different colours; I think they would be slightly dearer. I'll confirm this and come back to you.

At least this is being better accepted on here.

Well I don't agree with you. It'll never work. You couldn't do it for that price. It's a lot for cosmetic improvements, although I have just paid £5000 for a handbag.
