big brake conversion advice
Hi guys. I am thinking of upgrading to 4 pot brakes on the front but can not seem to find much online about this. Any suggestions of what to go for and where to get these from would be great!

If you want to keep resonable brake bias then WMS is your best bet, theres a thread in the affiliates section.

What's your reasoning for big brakes on the front? Considered brake bias?

Tbh on an NA unless your thinking of track days etc, I'd keep the stock set up and make sure your brakes all works, maybe put on some braided hoses, then carbotech brake pads if your wanting good biting and stopping power.
I've had both yellow stuff, red stuff and carbotechs all round and must say you can't beat the carbotechs for their stopping power
You'll just need to wash your wheels more often as they're quite dusty
4 pots would be expensive, and outweigh the gains to be made on a daily
Just my thoughts
Re: big brake conversion advice
I got 8 pot d2 and the brake bias is bad feels like 95% front and 5% rear braking bias is very important... hi spec front and rear is what i would go for
Or stick to wat u got and get carbotech ax6 front and rear bite from cold is good more then enough

I have Goodridge braided lines, RBF600 brake fluid, stock rev3 calipers and disks, with Carbotech pads. Awesome stopping power.

Forgot about brake fluid lol, any fluid that's been in for a time is worth changing when assessing and renewing your brake system
I'll certainly be telling my dad to buy the above when he renews his brakes etc and changing his suspension set up! Mm now what to go for Meister R's or some good oem struts
