    Brake Upgrade

    Hello -

    Is there any increase in front caliper size that I can do without changing my stock "M" struts and 15" wheel size?

    Thanks!

    Yes. PMB Performance has found a Brembo caliper with 3.0" mount that fits in place of the M caliper and allows the use of the A pad size. This is pretty much an S caliper with M mounting. The pistons do not change, just a larger pad size.

    Thanks so much davep! I've sent PMB an email regarding this as I can't find it on their site.

    Here are some pictures of the Brembos Eric builds. He also has some reproduction 908 brake pad pins that I bought from him and had them machined to fit before I sent my calipers to him to rebuild.
