[Allkiller]

I ve seen a thread , cant find it now using VW golf 280mm discs and Honda S2000 calipers on the stock 16V hubs
My question...anyone tried this / got this set up, is it any good ?
thanks

I've seen it too but don't think it was on this site. Know Ash D series was using 262mm vt discs with prlude vti calipers and a 3mm spacer on stock gl hubs

Been looking at calipers and got a question is the s2000 a type of honda caliper or does it refer to the car? Have found ep3's that have s2000 calipers?

Just done 262mm discs on to a 1.4 sedan with 282mm calipers.
But I had the calipers modded to fit rather than using spacers so the wheels are still hub centric.

Still got stock master cylinder and stock rear hubs. Brakes very well, but need to ditch the drums for discs and upgade the MC as there is increased pedal travel quite a bit.

If going fo the bigger still S2K or EP3 caliper, bear in mind the extra pedal tavel.

Thanks for input Nominous
...so bigger M/C will be needed at some point then depending on just how much more pedal travel you have ??

Mine 16v has rear disc...dont know how that will affect M/C set up

[streaker]

Just buy a VT brake conversion

Like mine!!

Andy, this is a bit easier, i hope

Dave will the exact same alterations have to take place on a 262mm caliper?

Im a bit worried that the 282 calipers wont fit under my 14"s...

These are the wheels over my 16v setup:

Not sure to be honest.
You are figuring 242mm discs and 262mm calipers?
I don't have any 242mm discs or the 262 calipers to compare against.

eh?!?

i was just gonna reply to your pm but couldnt so posted here.

I meant 262mm disc and 262mm caliper as im unsure whether ill get the (supossedly) bigger 282 caliper under the wheels.
