Hi all, does anyone know what 4 pot brake upgrade will fit under 15" wheels?

197s brembos will if callipers are machined and you will need a spacer.

There's also a Wilwood kit sold by Jamsport.

Wilwoods will as i had them on my 182 on running with 2118's.

Hi-Specs will as they do a kit to run off standard discs (280mm)

 

[Richard102]

Yer I was thinking about willwoods and hi sec but just abit out of my price range .

 

[Jekyll]

No real cheap option really. Its the mounting backets that are quite pricey.

Pads are cheaper though in both over standard calipers!

I've been lookimg at this and as I'm on std BHP DS3000 (or simular) is a more suitable option.

... Should I say "cost efficient"

I've had Godspeed ones (needed huge spacers) Jamsport (Willwood ones) not tried the Hi - Spec ones TBH I am testing a prototype kit using the 197/200 Brembo Calipers and the standard 280mm discs at the moment.

Pug 406 brembos is the cheapest way to fit 4 pots imo.

But they are bloody noisey ( squeel like a shot pig) can only be fitted under 16" alloys.

But stop very very well

What pads do you use Martin?

I would prefer to keep 15" as the car feels so much more responsive then having 16". Only reason for upgrading to 4 pots is that im going be running alot more power next year so need to think about stopping lol!!

Most if not all the 4 pot kits for the 1*2's fit under 15" wheels. I run Compbrake 4 pots on my 172.

You've had them for some time now too IIRC. You still happy with them as im sure you've used them well over the years

Yes Mark. I have had them fitted since 2008! They have been great, the only downside is the price of the discs at £100 each, as they run separate bells- rotors you can't run standard discs

I have removed and sold them on now joe but i ran genuine peugeot pads...

 

[chaski]

It seems to me that with every option it's the brackets that are the dubiously expensive part? I'm guessing this is due to time invested with CAD and testing etc and the cost of high quality materials/hardware vs low volume of potential sales.

I actually couldn't find the parts much if any cheaper on a like for like basis than paying someone else for them as a kit.

I have the same brakes - upside is the pads are silly cheap!

Yes that's true... But the Willwood midlites use the same pads and use standard discs so much cheaper to run ( they don't have separate bells- rotors like the do Compbrakes mind)

AP CP5200 calipers will fit under 2118's with my custom brackets and 300mm scenic discs.

[Cupman29]

I have 20mm spacers and there is loads of room. EVOgone
