    302 brake upgrade for 850R

    Anyone have 302 calipers for sale? need to fit new disks and thought I might as well go a little bigger.

    you don't need new calipers, just the caliper carriers

    As said above all you require is the carrier brackets and your new 302 discs, if your lucky they do come from time to time

    was thinking caliper carrier but the carrier bit just didn't make it to my fingers.

    It would be prudent to buy longer flexible brake lines. Goodridge are a good bet.

    If you buy the Goodridge Stainless brake lines, do you have to change the rears at the same time? Or, can you just change the front for the time being, I know on my C70' I have x3 in the back and I know will be a pain. Sorry to hijack this.
