Would rs2000 disc's make much difference to standard si ones? |

Simply increasing disc size makes the braking worse. This is because your calipers are applying the same amount of preasure, to the same area, but the added dispersed weight increases centripetal force increasing the "flywheel" momentum effect. I maintain that a better pad compound will provide the best brake upgrade, followed by calipers  Increase the calipers too much, and you'll induce locking, therefore equating to a waste of time and hard-earned  Uprated discs compliment uprated calipers

Yeah rob has found out this on his xr2i, that the grooved uprated discs for a rs2000 with the rs2000 calipers work ok, but the brake pad compound is limiting it somewhat, i have recomemded uprated pads to give it a good kick

oh sorry i ment changing the cal's to not just the discs.they both would be off a rs2000 friends donor car. With the alloys ive got (deep dish ones) the guy who i got them off said he couldnt get cossy ones in them, so i was thinking of the rs ones as basically i can get a set, and they' d fill the alloy abit more than just uprated ones so would i gain with that combo then? than standard discs. |

Just had a thought while im thinking of rs2k calipers/discs. would the mk of the rs2000 series make a difference to the size of calipers etc? or are they all the same? thanks steve |

yea they should bolt on just wondered if they varied on the mk4/5/6 ones? or if any rs2k ones would fit |

Cant offer a specific opinion on the RS2000 upgrade as got Cosworth ones, but would think that as they are only 20mm larger and still with single piston sliding calipers you could get an equally decent improvement by upgrading pads and braded hoses without increasing unsprung weight. My cosworth brakes with the standard small diameter servo is a bit of a mismatch resulting in softer peddle with longer travel and only come into their own when warmed up and then they are great with no fade lap after lap. |

Thought id try the 2k's anyway as i got them at a cheap price Calipers New discs New pads (both omp by OMP) All clips and bolts. They just need 2 new bleed nipples which have already been free'd so i'll get those soon       A random picture i found on the net comparing disc sizes 240mm (my standard size) - 260mm  Cant wait to get them on  8)

Brake change- Standard:  The discs-  No discs-  Disc size comparason -  Disc's on-  Attaching the pipes-   Its on -  000000hh nice-  000000  !!!!!! opps!  Cutting it abit close :roll:   Going to file abit of the side caliper off so the gaps not as close to the spokes. And paint the cals too, black i think. while i did these i found out i need two new cv boots and a d - link too
