Bigger Drilled Front Disks on 16V

Recommended Posts

I quite fancy getting some bigger front disks on my 1990 1.8 16V. But need to do it on a tight budget. I believe that this is best done with some calipers from a VR or a G60. How much are these likely to be 2nd hand (breakers)? Do they go straight on?

 

A local company is selling Zimmerman drilled disks for about £32 a corner, are they any good?

 

Am I correct in thinking that the standard 280mm G60/VR disks will not go straight onto my hubs due to 5/4 bolt issues? What is the best solution?

 

Obviously the system will need bleading after fitting, is there any adjustment of the system needed?

 

My rear calipers are looking a bit nasty and rusty. What is the best way of cleaning them up? I was thinking or taking them off when doing the from disks, cleaning them up (either emmery+elbow grease or a sand blast at a local company) and spraying them with some high temp capliper paint.

 

All help gratefully received.

Simple, 280mm G60 discs, and G60 or early VR6 calipers and carriers, job done. (except pads of course, but you'll be buying them with the dics anyway).
