2.0 brakes on a 1.2

[Olly1.216v]

What would i need to fit 172/182 brakes to a 1.2

Would it make it eaiser if i also bought 2.0 coilvers as im getting coilovers either way/ e.g upgrade to 2.0 coiles and brakes at the same time

Lol!

Your going to need hubs/driveshafts/steering rack/wishbones to convert it I think!

 

[Da]

Personally, unless you're doing the 2.0 engine conversion, I really wouldn't bother.

If you have the full rear axle with hubs and abs sensor, I am led to believe it's plug and play.

you can do it, but you need a bracket to be made up,

its easier to either buy williams/valver 4pots, or the big brake kit from k-tec,

fitting a valver engine my my mark2 so wanted something bigger, do valver/willy ones fit

same size as sports aswell i think?

The 1.2 brakes arnt bad, infact the 1.2's have the same front brakes as a valver.

 

[nick.]

if you want to get bigger brakes and not pay silly amount like you would be if you want the brakes of a sport. Why dont you get some off a 406 coupe, the brembo ones, iirc they more or less bolt straight on

The only difference between this and a normal 1.2 brakes are...... 285mm discs THATS ALL,

Its the same caliper carrier just been modified a little, something you could do yourself,

i have it and i was shocked tbh, as id though you would get bigger caliper's and all, but i was wrong, Also It doesnt fit under 15's so mine are yet to go on until i find some 16's

you already have valver/willy brakes

breaks should be good enough

all you need is 2.0 hubs and suspension to bolt the calipers on to
