What size disc do you run up front? Im just about to get my new stoppers fitted and am undecided about the best combo. Is a 285 discs too small?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

285mm will be fine

 

[GTiRlover]

Ta Jimmy 8) If I went with a bigger disc say 300mm would I notice the extra stopping power?

Hows your weapon coming along by the way?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

tbh i dont think u will noticed that much difference in that size disc to the the 285mm .only maybe a little extra heat dispersal maybe.im no brake magican :lol: :lol: :lol: .just make sure u buy a master cyclinder stopper too thats makes a world of difference 8)
well put it this way my machine is almost ready for feel silly boost :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[GTiRlover]

Ooooo sounds special, I hope you educate matty as to the error of his ways Keep me posted, thanks again 8)

 

[Toady]

there should be a slightly improved braking effort with the 300 instead of 285 due to the extra leverage and cooling.

 

[Jgti-R]

i run 300's and it stops on a sixpence!

 

[GTiRlover]

Gotta admit the 300's are calling me :twisted: Would I still be able to get a set of 16's over the 300's tho?

depends on the wheel style ....... some wheels cater for 300mm discs

 

[Odin]

I run 16's over AP 304mm disc's and 4 pot calipers

300's seem the popular choice.

Does anybody run a 285 setup that can tell me how they perform?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

i have 285mm front n back yet to test them fingers crossed ill do that this weekend 8)

 

[Stoned]

Just get 300mms

Better stopping power, lighter and wont warp so easily due to the 2 piece design.

Plus looks cooler :lol:

I got these second hand off someone on here for about £320 delivered and they have been ace apart from an annoying squeal. Were fantastic round silverstone though

 

[GTiRlover]

Looking good Stoned, are they 16's cos they have filled the wheel just slightly :shock:

Also why would a bigger disc be lighter?

I'm sold then 300mm disc it is, its lighter thus less unsprung weight, has better stoping ability and looks uber 8)
