Matt B Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 All, A question to all you who have had this done and know what they are talking about. I currently have 18" Kahn RSR's on my Soop, I want to upgrade the brakes and have around £1500 as a budget. Does anyone know what brakes will actually fit under my rims? I've heard that even the UK specs are a tight fit on RSR's. My choices are between - Stop-Tech - AP's - Brembo's - UK's - Kad's. I want aluminium bells if possible and Red calipers. Cheers All.

Scooter Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Just FYI, i know that the RSR's changed slightly at some point. The spokes/blades were made thicker such that a small (2mm ish) spacer was needed to clear uk brakes. I learnt this from a member on the board who had to get a replacement front RSR for his UK spec car and found that it wouldn't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Oh, Not sure how old my one's are... I need to get out there and measure the space I guess. Cheers How's it going Far? Got you kit fitted yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Do what I did mate, find a friendly person with a UK Spec (SMW in my case) and try one of your wheels on their car - if its fits job done you can go UK's, and paint them up before they go on, if not you'll have to investigate further!

SkyJawa Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 There ya go see - BR to the rescue Assuming you wanna go the UK route that is - but if you do it will leave with with plenty of change for more bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Cheers guys. BR will be in touch. To be honest I'm looking to do this in the new year but thought I should check out my options first. Can you do something to stop the center of the discs rusting on UK spec's?
