Hello I was just wondering if any one could point me in the right direction.
i want to increase the rear brake disks but still retain my stock callipers what would be the easiest and cheapest way to do this.

thanks in advanced

I bought a kit from Sunny-D which was discs and calliper brackets. It worked well but I don't know if he is still around. The disc is straight forward to source. The calliper bracket you might need to make your own.

Hispec do solid & 2 piece discs (alloy bell) or at least did.
solid disc is basically a conversion from 278mm primera rear discs.
you can use primers 278mm discs & redrill for 4x100 stud pattern. make your own bracket or look into brackets off of nissan models that use these 278mm discs as you will find some fit & work fine on the gtir hub.
A pair of 278mm discs can cost as little as £30, you may even find 4x100 stud pattern if factors up to the search. If you find brackets to work in a breakers you got easy job, if not fabrication no too hard. splash shield needs be removed or reshaped for these discs..
All in that could be done for say £80 to £120
cheapest 280mm hispec is about £250 ...
Other option is keep an eye open for used hispec or godspeed kit come up in used sales/eBay etc.

278mm primera rear discs have been used on gtir as a cheap conversion option.
Hispec 280mm kits are pretty much the same, 300mm bell kits obviously not.

Mr b, the discs hi spec use are not from a primera! Why not phone them and ask and they will tell you what they are.
