C70 upgrade rear breaks
so the rear brakes, the break disks look rather smaller than the front and they are making a slight noise so i think they need replaced anyway......
so iwas thinking are there any recomended new brakes n calipers that wuld be better and more visually apealing too? |

I'd leave well alone in terms of disc size - they do the square root of not a lot anyway.

As said, the fronts do most of the work and there's little by way of rear alternatives. Money better spent upgrading fronts to 320mm if they aren't already.

Fronts will be 320 already.

Depends on the model of C70. I'm not convinced that all C70s were manufactured with 320m brakes. VIDA certainly makes it look like that's the case.

Deffo don't uplift the size of the rear disks not unless you want the rear to swap ends with the front under heavy braking.
