SJB000161 - as you said works with a Google search but doesn't come up in Microcat for any vehicles or list on suppliers websites or even cross reference to anything. Most of the Google results are for used units from wreckers advertising on eBay UK. The code definitely was printed on the label by LR though:Quote:

Silly me didn't think of need for different LHD and RHD units.Quote:

I've read that the D2 calipers flex a bit, but all sliders flex, as do two piece 4 & 6 pot two piece calipers vs monoblocks but you need serious grip to exploit and notice the differences.
Thanks for this! Legend!Quote:

That'd be a nice way to do it! Its interesting, one of the engineers that I follow on FB was also saying the LC200 has incredible brakes. Both Nissan and Toyota use 4pot fixed rotors which look excellent, but sadly they are different sizes to what can be put on to a D2, both with 32mm thickness rotors. The closest to a setup like that which I can work out is a D2 front end with L322 front rotor which is 344x30 and Audi Q5 3.0TD Brembo calipers which suit 345x30 rotors. But because the height of the L322 rotor is 76mm compared to the D2 rotor height of 91.5mm and the wider nature of fixed calipers, I'm not sure if they will fit behind standard D2/P38 18" rims without hitting the spokes. I'm also not sure because I think the Q5 Brembos have 42mm pistons.Quote:

Yep, I'm running 18's atm and just eyeballing, 4 or 6 spots will be a tight fit.Quote:

I was thinking of measuring to see if we could bore the calipers to 51mm. [bigwhistle]
The Nissan blokes reckon the big bore calipers look identical, just a bigger pad is used (that also fits the smaller caliper) and slightly bigger OD rotors
Oh, and I have multiple tabs open atm on AP Racing's site
It's all your fault Slunnie! [tonguewink]
I won't do anything though, I need to spend some $$ elsewhere on it atm. Various bits on order and more orders about to happen.[bigwhistle]
Sorry! :lol2:Quote:

What makes it hard to get good brakes is that LandRover use unconventional rotor thicknesses when compared to regular high performance brakes.
I'd be interested to hear what you think about boring the caliper!
From memory the Defender uses 48mm pistons?
I was thinking of 330+ rotors with custom top hats to get the offset I wanted, but it all comes down to what will fit inside the wheel.
Crazy thinking as my rotors, pads, hoses aren't even twelve months old.
Switch off the brain, Ricardo....
At least the new braided body/chassis hoses I have could be reused! [emoji849][emoji23]
Defender calipers would be the most elegant option for factory rotors.Quote:

My feeling is that you could run up to around 350mm rotors with the 18's. This is bang on for using D4 rears and I suspect the calipers will almost match. Hmmm, maybe even L322 345mm fronts and D4 350mm rears with possibly D2 MY03+ booster could give significantly better braking, all still with sliding brake calipers.
