will front s docs work with base calipers
 

Hi All,

I'm wanting to upgrade my front brakes discs to the s 319mm discs however these have a thickness of 28mm and the base has 24. I know I will need to machine a spacer for the calliper however will the 28mm discs fit in the base caliber?

Why? I like mountain drives and want to be able to use the brakes later up to the corners. My thought was I should get better braking distance or am I wasting my time?

.................

Yes.

Get a street / track pad like Pagid or Ferrodo and change your brake fluid to Castrol or Motul.

OEM brakes are more than enough to start with, but I also agree that a good aftermarket set can be even better. This has come up a bunch of times before and the unanimous feeling is that anything bigger than stock is not worth the $ and effort.

Edit - btw, if you're looking for drilled/slotted rotors then look at power stop. I've got their rotors and pads on mine and I think they're fantastic. I don't race but I drive country roads like I'm running from the cops and I've never had any heating or warping issues and they will stop on a dime without any brake dust whatsoever.

Do this, AND some braided brake lines, you'll be solid.

Meyle rotors and powerstop ceramics is a great setup. Good for AX and entry level track as well
Plus they are very low dust

Unless you are tracking the car, Castrol SRF is way overkill and 2-4 times more $$
Motul 600 and definitely 660 are also overkill for hard street and even AX
ATP-200 is just fine, even for entry level tracking.

Motul 600/660 tend to absorb water faster than ATP-200

for tracking SRF and Motul are good choices, for even hard street/canyon/mountain driving ATP-200 is more than fine.

Don't get "track" pads if you are primarily street driving. They generally require getting hot to really grip and many squeal like a stuck pig.

Another good choice for street/aggressive driving and even some tracking are EBC Reds

Great tip..! As you may have a wake up call if you suddenly have to stop and your track pads are cold..

I was referring to a pad that is a combo of street & track, not a pure track pad. They're a combination of street pad and a track pad. You get some of the dust and noise of a track pad and instant bite when cold of a street pad. Check out StopTech Street Sport pads from TireRack.

ATE-200 brake fluid would be fine. I suggested some higher performance options since he will be driving in canyons. Didn't want him to boil his fluid and have his pedal go to the floor. :eek: Not as much runoff in the canyon vs the track.

I knew that's whet you meant on the pads, someone else may not have :) EBC Reds are a really good trackable street pad. I ran them for a while at the track with good results. It wasn't until I got more advanced that I changed to an even higher heat pad

IMHO, your not going to boil ATE-200 on the street, canyons or mountain roads, probably not at the track until you get more advanced either
