i was looking at my cally today wondering what to do next,uuuummm aaaarrrr,
then looking at my wheels,the 8v brake discs look so small for the car and wondering how pricey it will be to fit bigger brake discs,
im a novic when it comes to break sizes,
so my questions are
1.can i fit bigger discs
2.will i have to change the calipers
3.will it cost a bomb:eek:

any advice and links will be great
cheers in advance

the front brakes are the same on all calibra's except the V6 and turbo models which have 5 stud hubs.

you can buy a kit from somewhere, can't remember where, where you get new calipers, pads and 4 stud discs but the discs are the same size as the V6/turbo, 288mm.

they are around the £200 mark iirc
