Hi all,

Planning on doing a few track days plus the standard (304mm ?) discs look lost inside the 18" spiders I have on my 2000 Tuscan.

I'd like to upgrade the rotor size, not keen on the extra weight of big discs but it's got to be done! Should I go for 322mm or go all out at 330mm? There can't be a huge difference in appearance, 4mm radius can't be that obvious?

Thanks,
TC

I've got the 6 bolt callipers so I can use spacers to get bigger discs under, and I know that pads and fluid would probably suffice but as I mentioned, looks play a part too.

I'd love alloy 2 piece but they generally mean a whole lot more dough!

These are my brakes at the mo, I believe the callipers are the right ones to use, the discs are barely bigger than the rears!

I ended up going for drilled 322mm discs, new Ferrodo pads, spacers and bolts. Looks much better and work great, not driven it hard yet but they are very positive smile
