C30 Brakes : - Larger calipers, increase rotor size

Elloh · Jul 4th, 2023, 11:16

Ive changed the rear rotors + discs + pads on my 07 C30 1.8 Petrol, and doing the same with the front. There was a small issue with the ordered front calipers , they fit the larger rotors with a diameter of 320mm than the standard 300mm that I have, is it possible to buy the larger 320mm rotors without having any problems or should I get calipers that fit the 300mm rotors instead? Visually it looks fine.

If you have 17" wheels the 320mm calipers and discs will fit, this is what I have, they were originally on the T5, D5 and Ford Focus ST IIRC.

I'm surprised your brakes are standard 300mm because mine on the 2.0i were 280mm.
