Advice on 1.6 mk2.5 brakes...!

[THannibal]

Hi All , I'm after a bit of advice with my girlfriend's 2004 mk2.5 mx5 1.6 - she's only just got it, so I'm not up to speed with it yet!

The front right caliper is sticking, and from the depths of t'internet I've gleaned there's a big brake kit commonly fitted to 1.8 sport's, however I don't know if it was an option on the other models?

Basically I'm asking if there's any way the big brake kit would be fitted to a 1.6 euphonic. The discs are measuring about 21mm thick at the thickest point, however I'm not sure if that's a worn 22mm disc or a rust-encrusted 20mm disc.

Thanks in advance for any info

Tom

I found that the 270mm brake must have been a factory option - her 1.6 did turn out to have the 270mm kit after all. I managed to get a good measure by taking the wheel off and offering up a tape measure, you only need to k ow of it's bigger or smaller anyhow.

Best of luck
