rbull51 is on a distinguished road
Thinking of upgrading to front 180 calipers, is it really worth it?

Im thinking of upgrading my calipers in the near future but is there really much of a difference compared to standard 120 calipers? Most people say there is but have any of you lot done it?

I upgraded the Front callipers & discs on my 110 to the 282mm front from the 180,,
Found a great Big difference with improvement but I also put that down to the fact my old brakes hadnt much life left in them.
Id say if your brakes are worn then go for it.

I have driven my mates 120 and it wouldnt pull up like my 180 and that was with all new brakes a couple of months before.

Well worth doing the fronts if you feel you need more.
