A worthwhile mod?

[se6]

Will it be worth me upgrading from 256mm to 288mm and veccy v6 calipers?
Will there be any problems with the brake bias after this at all???
Thanks

lol. I prefer to use brakes to stop instead of trees etc.

standard ones are enough to lock wheels/trip the ABS so i think unless your getting brake fade theres no need.

They do say that if you increase engine power its wise to increase brake power [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Cheater you had no probs with brakes locking up or anything?
I may have a serious look into it then. + they will look better being slightly bigger, aswell as safer!

Really is that true

thought you had to stop the car like Fred Flintstone does :icon_mrgr

This is something i've also considered but mainly just for visual appearance. I think the tiny standard discs look terrible behind nice big alloys. A nice set of chunky sports grooved discs can change the whole appearance of the car, kinda like how some Audis have those massive discs as standard!

Just wondering tho, whats the biggest size discs you can fit on a Calibra? And do you have to change the calipers?
