Brembo caliper upgrade options

[Scotty_b]

Looks like I need to get my Brembos refurbished as one isn’t operating correctly.

I know you can get service kits but as they need paint as well I have been looking at a full rebuild and paint by specialist companies. This got me to thinking if I’m paying out for this is there any next step upgrades that could be considered that won’t break the bank? I.e. I don’t want 6 pots at £1400 but I’ve read that Megan brembos are better and a direct swap. This will be for cosmetics more than anything as it’s not a track car.

Upgrades aside my next car coming in is yellow with yellow Brembos on it so might be of interest to you?

I would as don’t particularly want to spend a fortune on new stuff (was trying to do ‘man maths’ to justify the spend).

May want some other parts as well so could be a trip down to you.

Perfect, let me know when you have had a chance to look them over and get a price etc.

Keep the ones you have.

The stock 323mm brembo 4 pots have more than enough stopping power for the LCR

In that case I've found the perfect answer.

They look mint as stock. Am i missing something

I agree. Repaint and new emblem

 

[Scotty_b]

The problem is they (1) dont work so need to do something - it’s not just a repaint needed. The cosmetic was for size increase rather than stopping power need. I don’t disagree they are powerful enough for the LCR but in the same breath 225bhp was enough…why modify it…
Will dig out the stuff I read on the Megane Brembo as that’s the same size but with some small tweaks (supposedly).

I’ve always liked yellow ones. Is it wrong to have a grey one and a yellow one?
