WMS 4-pot brake kits

[Todd]

I will take a kit if you can get it under the standard GT wheels. Just for reference keri, the sporting wheels are the same dimension, just different colour may be easier to get hold of one

Ok, we're looking at (something like) £395+vat for the 257x20 (T20 caliper kit), and £465+vat for the 298.5x24 T20 kit. The existing 284x22 T20 kit is currently £415.51+vat by comparison.

The 1.62/1.75" piston T20 caliper gives you just over 25% extra piston area over the GT caliper (plus better modulation, cheaper uprated pads and all the other race 4-pot good stuff).

Oh, and all three sharing the T20 caliper means you can swap from kit to kit by buying the discs/brackets/spacers etc if you change wheel size! :-)

So, "interested" in 257mm so far is:
1 - Todd
2 - seaneyb

And "interested" in 298.5mm so far is:
1 - ryanjfac
2 - arnell (post from last year)
3 -
4 -

cool sounds good does that kit come with pads and discs as well? and is it possible to get the calipers in yellow?

[Keri-WMS]

Each kit includes calipers/discs/brackets+inserts/bolts/washers, but pads and lines are extra (see page 1 of this thread for more). :-)

Only black calipers I'm afraid....

I am intrested in 284mm set
Pm'd u about it

You did indeed! The 284mm kit already exists, and is on the shelf. There's only one left at the moment though so hurry up and shift those Brembos!

Can you use the coupe 20vt discs with the 300mm bracket set up? as i have a new pair of them and you said it will be cheaper for the kit if we dont purchase the discs in the kit.

Thanks.

I'd still like a proper price for a monster 6 pot caliper kit, to fit under 17's maybe 18's

It's possible, but you'd need to get them turned down to 298.5mm (or maybe 300.0mm with a 1mm shamfer), and I'd need to supply the calipers with wider spacers. Also the 20vt discs are a lot deeper than the Punto discs (too deep for the hubs I think), so you'd need to mess about with spacers between the Punto hubs and discs with any caliper you try to use them with.

Probably not worth the agro and expense to be honest vs selling them on and using the discs that fit?

As an estimate, take the £465.00 298.5mm kit, and make it £500 due to the one-off brackets. Going from the T20 4 pot caliper to the T60 6 pot adds £213/pr. Alloy bells are about £200/pr as one-offs. 323x32 rotors add £189/pr (being £279.00/pr).

So a one-off front 323x32 6-pot kit with rotors might be something like £1,102.00+vat, plus brake lines and pads - if you're still interested I can look into it further?

[cragterharris]

how much bigger is the piston diameter compared to the 4 pot?
as for looking into price further let me keep that as a rough figure for now cheers
