Girling 54 256mm vs 280mm

Post

Is there much difference in performance?

I really want to keep my 15" p slots and they definitely don't fit with g60 280 calipers.

I have some 256mm calipers mk2 golf 16v and Audi carriers spare and know these will fit.

I have the larger servo and master cylinder.

Will I notice much difference in braking performance if I down size?

Cheers

Rich

ive got 256mm on my mk2 with abf lump and its plenty good enough, plus I had the scirocco 16v stuff on my mk1 cab with KR lump in. they will happily lock the wheels which is all you need force wise :)

if you are making a track weapon you may find the fade though. if not, they be reet.
