If you have standard, 240mm ones have a chat with Joolz about changing them for 260mm's, straight swap without the need for spacers etc.

Had mine done by Peninsula who used Hi-Spec calipers, bigger discs (I think 280mm) and braided hoses. What a difference!!! Suggest you speak to Richard Smith there - they will even pick and return your car for you if you don't live nearby.

You could try Godspeed.
4 pot Brembo's, 290mm discs & hoses at v. competitive prices

Unfortunately we've had to a bit of development work as calliper originally fouled the wheel but we've got over that. Hope to be fitted in the next month

These 320m work well, supplied and fitted by Peninsula to my previous 4.0 and then transfered to my current 5.0, so overall have lasted 4 years and 30k miles, and still work perfectly, had to have the disks changed due to warping but this was done under warranty within the first 15k miles.



I still have the warped discs (very small amount) if you want them? I was going to get them skimmed untill the supplier said they would replace them FOC.

edited to say, these will only work on 16" rims.
