305mm callipers/discs

[mikey]

Hi guys i have an 850 t5 and I'm considering upgrading the brakes due to seized front callipers,

My question is will a complete 305 mm setup off a P2 T5 all fit straight on?

thanks in advance for any help

Short answer - no.

Everything is a different size and offset.

Ok thanks

No but you can fit 302mm disks with larger carriers for the same calipers - rather than the standard 850 - which has 280mm

nice simple, straight forward upgrade, if you can find a set of the larger carriers. I did read somewhere about a larger pad that can be used with the larger disc but not found any different one offered on the net, is this right and does anyone have a part no. for the larger pad ??

Hi I upgraded my front brakes on my 850 t5 to 302mm If I remember correctly I used the carriers and callipers from a p1 v70r and fitted v70r discs and pads was straight forward just bolt on (and bleed) worked a treat probably hard to find now though

Calipers are all the same, fitted 302s on one of my old cars and did not need to change calipers
