Hi Just a thought for the future if these brakes get too expensive, would downsizing to the 200 bhp brakes be a viable option?
I know larger brakes are better as I have always gone for bigger when modifying my cars. I have been through lots of different modifications over years.
Jeez, are you sure you want an R?
By the time you have pissed about doing all that you could have a nice new set of discs and pads. The pistons on my R are not corroded, the car is not used in Winter which helps and Peugeot provided new discs, pads and calipers prior to my ownership.
There are options for 3rd party calipers around £1500-2000 with discs and pads. Pug1Off have some options I think
The prices for the R over an RCZ and then the servicing i,e plugs etc and may appear fairly high if compared to servicing a family hatchback; but in comparison to other performance cars of the same ilk they are as cheap as chips to maintain. TVR, Porsche, Audi, Lotus.....etc.
