Brake upgrade for trackdays

Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:54 pm

Looking into using the old dog for a few trackdays.

What's the best brake upgrade for 4 stud hubs? All I ask is that are direct fitment

I also have an e30 M3 suspension setup I could use if it means bigger / better brakes

I reckon you're better off using WMS kit.

We have a whole section of the Wiki devoted to Brake Upgrades

What wheels have you got? That's the main limiting factor, pretty much defines how big the brakes can be.

Wheel size not an issue, I have several sets 15" - 18"

Might have a set of unused WMS 4 pots for sale in 3-4 weeks as I may be converting to 5 stud in case you are interested

Anything over 16" is (GENERALLY) not advised for track day/race cars, this is one of those subjects though! Usually:

15" can take 280mm
16" can take 300/305mm
17" can take 325/330mm

Still can't believe you never fitted them!
