[wadoryu]

Hi guys been searching for yours and just want to clarify, to upgrade to 266mm all you need is calipers, lines, pads, discs and new fluid? What's this things about carriers?

I read the OE mc was fine with 266s? even with the 283s but has longer pedal travel with 283s.

Correct me if im wrong ofc. *people with exp

[wadoryu]

I got 2 axles :D even though the axle is fine lol. Yeah thats the one, just waiting for payday and the next and should be road worthy. Bloody rain has been holding me up.

Is this from experience on the internet dude or actual usage?

Fair enough.

I'll stick with the oe one.

[sam_16v]

Fair enough.
the brakes work better with a upgraded m/c you would be suprised by the difference tbh

Sure but i thought, well after reading it would be better to change m/c if you went to 283+

Whats the pedal travel like with 266's?

Sorry for gatecrashing Wadoryu. Genuine questions here. lol.

I got 266mm Lucas set up with exact braided lines and 23mm M/C and the pedal feel is awesome I'm so happy with it!

[Prickle]

is that the oe mc?

No idea on its size.

[sam_16v]

23mm isnt standard :y: cant remember the standard size iirc it 19 or 21 mm

Ok dude cheers.

I run 266mm disc, pads & braided hoses without the bigger m/c and it runs fine, even with heavy breaking on track. I always thought it was needed for 283's+

Awesome.

if its fine like you say on heavy braking on track then thats good enough for me. ( i wont hit the track )

I thought the same. However ive spoke to a dude with 283s and he said theyre fine with the oe m/c on his cammed s.

Info sorted for when i do get them :D i just couldnt be arsed to faff on changing the m/c. again sorry for jumping in OP but at least a q is answered ;)

Cheers.
