Brake upgrade

[Crusher]

Previous member back on the forum now I have time on my hands! Looking for some advice on a brake upgrade for my DTM.

Originally an eco tech but now a LET so only four stud. I have had the turbo refurbed and she’s flying but not stopping right quick!

Shame as I’ve done a complete overhaul on the brakes including caliper rebuilds.

Looking for the best options available for my set up.
Cheers.

You could go up to the 308mm discs with the V6/Turbo Std calipers
You can get the caliper carriers from LMF.

Mine was an ecotec too that I converted to v6 about 5 years ago. I kept the 4 stud since I prefer the wheels I have on the car now. I changed to v6 redrilled discs and calipers but without a spigot ring to centralise the discs I always had vibration on the front ( was horrible to drive) I trawled the fb sites and found some hispec 4 pots with 308mm discs in 4 stud. After spacing the calipers back with strategically placed washers to clear the alloys I've never looked back. Would share a picture but can't remember how to do that on here sorry.

Thanks for the replies, apologies for not replying sooner. I’ve gotta do something as its scarey now on the XEV brakes. I have been tempted by the ksport 304 disc and yellow caliper to match the DTM chips but looking at a grand for that.
Yellow caliper will deffo match up well.

Struggling to find them on their website, only showing five stud?

Your best bet is to call them to be honest. And if no luck, you can try eBay for seconds - lots of cars breaking these days (sadly)

Sorted now cheers, couldn’t get Ksports to fit without a load of hassle!
Gone down the V6 Vectra caliper, & hangers along with Mtec 308 discs.
