i've already got uprated discs, pads, hoses and fluid but feel i need more for the track....so wanted to know what was possible/cost effective...

172 calipers and discs? what would it take to fit them/how much and do they fit under willy 15' wheels?

k-tec big brake conversion? any good? seems to be pretty expensive...

i've noticed people talking about using pug406 4pots....what would it take to fit these?

ALSO on the rear...are 172 calipers the same as willy rears? or do they fit straight over anyway?....only asking as mine need replacing anyway sos seeing whats best.

cheers!

i have the ktec 285 conversion on mine, and much better than standard.
have that along with the braided hoses etc seems to be an improvement

i have the hi-spec 285mm conversion with 4pots, its faultless so far and has been on the naples for about 2.5yrs.

i am running 280mm 172 discs at the moment though as a quick fix until i can afford to replace the 285mm discs my carbone lorraines ate.

Brembo OE 285mm discs are only £55 delivered from ebay?

hmm so the ktec stuff sounds the best bet.

what about my rear caliper enquiry?

Yes, rear calipers are the same.
