Brake discs

bremner27 · Jul 7th, 2014, 19:07

Could somebody please tell me which size brake discs fit my car. Euro car parts lists three different diameters 278mm, 300mm and 320mm? Do I have to replace like for like size or can I upgrade to a bigger diameter without modifying anything else.

I have a 2005 V50 with 18" alloys.

Cheers.

You are usually limited in diameter by the caliper and carrier, to upgrade size you may have to change either just the carrier or both.

278 or 300 on a 2.0 diesel. If manual probability is 278 check though the caliper is stamped with the size.

hi m8 give me your reg number and ill get the size for you. the calipers/backing plates etc are different so you cant just fit bigger discs

I know yours is a 2.0d isn't it ? im 99% sure you would have 300mm that's a standard size with the 2.0ltrs ive upgraded mine to the 320mm . the 320 are d5 and t5 and the 278mm are normally on the petrols 1.6/1.8s
