Brake Upgrades

[strada]

Hi,

I'm looking into potential upgrades for the front brakes on my MG Montego. I've read that Corrado G60 280mm discs fit with minimal modification. Has anybody done this? I assume this would be using the standard calipers. Also, has anyone upgraded the front calipers to something a little larger whilst retaining the standard wheels?

The Corrado G60 discs do fit fairly easily, but you will need to manufacture, or locate, a bracket to move the caliper mountings outboard to compensate for the larger diameter discs. You will also need to redrill the wheelstud holes to cater for the different diameter on M&M's If you search the forum for "big brakes" there are a number of threads that describe what to do. You will also need a thin spacer and may need to change your rims - again to ensure that they don't foul the caliper. I have done this ready to go on my turbo - pic below shows the test assembly of caliper and disc.

Bargain for the upgrade kit.

I've got them fitted to a couple of mine



They fit under 15 inch narrower cross spokes 5.5J?

The other option is the MGF AP 4 pot calipers with MGF trophy discs turned down to just under 300mm. These require 16 inch+ wheels though and will result in longer pedal travel.
