What does a big disc kit do?Replacing the standard sized front discs with larger 285mm ones provide more leverage for the brake calipers to work upon. The larger size of these discs along with their increased rotational speed improves heat dissipation and drastically reduces brake fade. Fitting a big disc kit will dramatically improve braking performance; far more than you could ever expect from just changing brake pads. A big disc kit will also looks fantastic behind alloy wheels! What’s included?
This kit includes a pair of grooved 285mm diameter vented discs, a pair of brake caliper relocation brackets and all necessary nuts, bolts and washers. Other items worth considering (but not included in this kit) are performance brake pads, braided hose lines and performance brake fluids. What size wheels do I need?
As a general rule this kit will fit behind all 15 inch wheels, and may also fit behind some 14” ones too. Please check the internal diameter of your wheel before ordering. A minimum diameter of 335mm (13.5 inches) is required. About fitting
Fitting should always be carried out by a competent individual – preferably a professional engineer. Due to the tolerances allowed by car manufacturers and small variations in their designs this big disc kit may in some cases require minor modification to fit. A typical example of which would be grinding the bracket supplied or filing away a casting mark on the caliper. This kit will fit… All Capri's, from Mk1 to Mk3.
