Brake Upgrade

Post by Titan1995 » Sat Nov 10, 2012 10:09 pm

Having recently fitted some RX-8 road wheels to my Bongo, the standard discs are looking a bit small.

Any ideas on a brake upgrade. Plenty of room for larger discs.

Not going to put fake Brembo caliper covers on ....no way......

Deal with AP Racing at work....will have a chat with them.....

Alternatively, do RX-8 calipers etc fit...no bloody idea....something must work.

The original discs look pathetic in the middle of 18" wheels.
