    Fitting 33's = bad brakes

    Hi All,

    I have just fitted 33's to my D1 and on the first run noticed how they had effected the brakes a fair bit! I was wondering if anyone had done any mods to their D1 brakes?

    Any info appreciated!

    Can't say i noticed any effects on braking when i fitted the 33's, but i spose i slowly worked up from 31's-32's then to 33's.
    There are upgraded rotor's on the market, and stainless braided brake lines are meant to improve braking a little bit but havn't personly experianced this.

    CHEERS TIM.

    New pads, good hoses and fresh fluid will help - assuming the rest of your braking system is in good nick.

    Defender calipers will help definitely. The have a much bigger piston.

    Cheers
