+1 for "this mistake" mine are far worse than my old 2003 FFRR and way behind the wife's D3

I thought about this upgrade but not sure how effective the retro upgrade would be and is it just a case of calipers, pads and discs?

If these will fit, then I think it is a case of the calipers, disc, pads and possibly the flexi hoses but possibly the hoses are a standard thread, although braided hoses may be a worth while upgrade.
I just don't know if the mounting holes on these match those on my car?

What you need to check is weather the holes in the casting (hub carrier) are big enough for the calliper mounting bolts to mount the Brembo callipers...

Found this out this week trying to fit a set to an 06MY V8 for a customer! They would fit apart from the holes being bigger on a 10MY calliper carrier/casting...


Craig

Craig,
So what you are saying is the bolts for the larger calipers are fatter than the holes in the hub carrier?
If this is the case, how much larger and would it be possible to enlarge the holes in the hub carrier via drilling them out?
Thanks
Kev

You can change the hub carrier for the 10MY onwards and then they will bolt straight on... £265ish per side... I priced them as an option...

To drill out the casting would not IMHO be an acceptable practice...



Craig

So as mine is a MY10 they should bolt straight on?
Also Craig, was going to pm you regards my rear lights, I have seen the rear lights that you opened up, removed the red rings, smoked the clear lens, and painted the surrounding plastic black.
Do you offer this as a service or were they just a one off for your demo car?
Thanks
Kev

You may be able to get away with carriers made up to fit them but they may not sit right.. As above, or maybe find a slightly older smashed up one and get the hubs and setup off that  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I'd want to be sure that nothing else was different (master cylinder, ABS set-up, bias etc.) before bolting completely different brakes on. Balance could be totally changed.

Kev, yes i can make you a set sir... But they are very time consuming and therefore expensive... You need two rear lights as you have to smash the clear cover off one and then cut the plastic away from the rear of the other...

Price of 4 rear lights...

Labour of about 20ish hours...

That said, weve made three more sets for customers since...

You also have the issue of ABS sensors being seized, wheel bearings as you normally have to press out the drive shaft therefore having to split ball joints etc etc... Could easily turn into the expensive job from hell!

Other than the lines i dont think the other parts are different TBH but worth comparing VINS and microcat  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Its not a case of the other parts being different, its the other parts are not made to be removed and refitted... IE the ABS sensors can not be removed as they are plastic and either seize in or are glued from factory (like a Discovery 2) so when changing the carrier, the ABS sensor would most likely have to be replaced! And the wheel bearings would and maybe other componants like ball joints (have to remove when taking off the hub to press out the drive shaft) that have a habit of rubbers splitting when you try to remove them... That's before tackling the drive shafts! Could get very very expensive is all im saying...

Fine if the customer is happy to pay, parts labour etc etc but as an unknown quantity, it's very hard to quote a job like that...


Craig

Also if you are running with MY10 19" wheels then they too won't fit over the larger Brembos meaning that you will have to source MY11 onward 19"wheels
