OK Guys,

Go gentle with me. I've done quite a bit of research ( read loads of Old pistonheads threads ) .

What are the current options ? Basically for a track car. It's an early 350i



Volvo 244 Calipers ---- yes there is a thread on this. Anyone else done it ?

Grannie , Vented 260mm - I think these are the M16 Caliper. can I use the Burton Spacer BRK008 to "widen" the calipers ? Is there anywhere I can buy these "outright" - ie no old caliper to give back.

Keri - ( http://www.spannerfodder.com ) I've E-mailed him, no reply yet

Wilwoods - plenty of choice, different disc sizes

AP - can't find much on these

Princess Calipers - nah .... too many choices above.



Anything else I've missed ?


Thanks in Advance
Steve

Hi Smiley V,

I'll call, but I'm not sure your suggestion will work .... Looking into palletizing it.

I upgraded my 350i with a Hispec vented upgrade with 4 pot calipers. Awesome but at £800 with the VAT not cheap.
