Bigger front discs Mk2 Ph2 1.2??

[Da]

now i'm not talking anything serious, it's only a 1.2 afterall but as a note on my MOT the tester advised that one of the front discs is just starting to corrode, but it's so slight it didn't even warrant an advisory notice.
So...I was just wondering, seen as I'll be replacing them in the next few months anyway I might as well go for something that looks a little better behind my 182 alloys. So what do we think guy's, what's peoples recommendations??

Cheers :rasp:

The 285 setup doesn't help much on track it does look good though

 

[Da]

not interested in track edde as I never have, nor probably will be tracking my car Just simply after looks and to avoid putting the OE renault ones back on.

Are the rears drums?

If so, convert them?

 

[Da]

yeah, rear drums. Is it a simple job to convert?

 

[edde]

You need a whole rear axle and there more probalems than there worth plus they look to small but they will bolt on.
I've no pictures of the disk ask AMrtin. he had some.

 

[Da]

ok, wont bother with rears just going to concentrate on fronts i think.

Does it affect your insurance in any way?

 

[Da]

well it is a mod, but surely it should lower the premium as they help you stop?

 

[Russ.]

they also mean u can brake later i guess...u no the angle the insurance will try and play it lol

If only that was true my car would be easy to insure.
