It all depends on your calliper size, master cylinder sizes and whether you are using a balance bar.

the calipers ill prob buy new the master cylinder is straight off the saphire

Are you using rear discs? if so I would stick with larger front discs otherwise you will have too much braking at the rear (not good!)

Cheers

i am using standard rear disks yes

so people any links to where i can buy some nice new disks please
thnak you

Somewhere on this forum theres a really good spreadsheet that allows you to feed in all your brake parameters and check the balance (for all-disc system)

Do a search and with a bit of time you should be able to check your system for balance.

brilliant thank you

I just bought standard ABS vented discs for mine as these are the larger ones and my donor had an ABS system local motor factors for about £15 each IIRC

had a ring round about 20- 25 pounds each so far but still looking
