brake upgrade?

M19 ROO:
out of interest do you know if the disco calipers and disks are a direct swap? no modding needed to get them to fit?

I think they are, but I'd have to ask why? Certainly Defender 110 calipers are somewhat larger.

M19 ROO:
just curious really,, lol thanks

Henry Webster:
I think that virtually all of the RR/Discovery/90/110 calipers are interchangeable.  But the 110 ones are the answer if you want more braking power.

Litch:
The standard setup will work fine when correctly set up.

Mine had been ok since I bought the vehicle but a couple of years ago I gave the whole system an overhaul (rebuilt the calipers, new discs/pads, pipes etc) and the braking was first rate. Check what you have got is working ok before you go set about changing things.

Now to contradict myself, I recenetly fitted a vented disc conversion to the front (no real reason, just fancied it) and as already stated, it doesn't make any difference to the initial braking performance (which I wasn't expecting it to) but it can't do any harm.
