Is it possible to put brembo discs and callipers on a Griff? If it is does anybody know where I can get these and what sort of price would they be?

What is max size discs you can have on the front and on the rear?

Cheers.

Nobody knows? Maybe it's because it was Sunday.

There are a lot of options for bigger brakes. Do a search on the Griff forum or have a look at www.thegriffithpages.com/, there is a good story about brake upgrades.

And yes, there are Brembo's for the Griff but I wouldn't know what type. With standard front wheels I think 285 disks are the max.
Personally I went for HiSpec, less expensive than Brembo or AP and (almost?)just as good.

Can be done...

Steve T sorted a kit out just before he got his Cerb and it got fitted to another Chim Trinitycall'swww.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0&memberId=36945 by David Batty.

I've seen it and it looks superb

I believe the Godspeed (<a href="www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/">www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/ </a> upgrade is Brembo calipers on non-Brembo 283mm discs. Biggest size possible in standard Grif 15" wheels is 300mm discs, but it is REALLY tight, and may require some questionable modifications to wheels and/or brakes to make it fit. 295mm discs would probably be best, but I've never heard of this size actually being available. I got HiSpec 285mm discs and 4-pot calipers and I'm very happy with it.

I think Trinity's brakes must be binding .. as he could not keep up with my 3.6 (with his weapon of choice 4.0) on Saturday

See profile. You can just about see them.
From Godspeed. Like said above very tight fit.
We had to do a lot of the donkey work as they assumed as your replacing ford brakes, a lot of the dimensions would be the same, i.e braded hoses were 3-4 inches to short.

Couldn't reach trinitycall via his e-mail. So I'll ask here.

Hi Trinitycall.

I like the brembo brake upgrade you've done on your car. A few questions if I may.
What size disc have you got on the front? Have you had the same done to the rear? And the most important question, what did it set you back?

Thanks for you help.

grouch.

And now blackbullet.

Cheers.

PS: You can e-mail me via my profile if you don't want to put it here.

Ask Steve T he knows about it as I believe he spec'd it up and passed it onto Nick.
