brakes

[General Baxter]

what are the largest GM brakes i can fit behind a speedline (16")?

v6 brakes. 285mm disks.
you might get bigger like 300mm's but i am not sure.

i have 285's.

these are 256's

these are 285's but with 4 pot calipers, but look how close the caliper is to the wheel

its not how big its what you do with them that counts!

:lol:

Yer "common" big brakes and the most "cheap" are the Astra 16v ones - need to upgrade the servo though to a GTE/GSi one.

well iv got 1L disks behind them!

you can just see the caliper let alone the disk, and it looks silly :lol:

ade, the servo change does sweet FA for the braking ;)

its like power steering, it dosent make you turn in faster, but it does make turning easier.

iv got 288mm discs and calipers on mine and i can just fit 15" rims on with spacers.

just remembered, chris fitted his 15" comotive mo's over my brakes and they fitted. but they do have a deep wheel to clear the caliper

i'm running 1.2 servo on ATE 16v brakes. Works fine.

I changed the servo on mine from a 1400 SR one, to a TDi/SRi/GTE/GSi one and the difference was huge, and no it wasnt me thinking that, was 100% better

baxter i dont think that v6 brakes fit perfect behind speedlines

im sure you have to grind a bit of the caliper :lol:

[Paul]

no they go behind, mine did

[jamie gsi16v]

:oops: must be getting confused in my old age :lol:
