I always go for brake upgrades in my cars, my Jetta TDI got a set of wagon brakes, my 6 cylinder mustang got a set of GT brakes, and my new GT, well, too expensive to upgrade those! But I noticed the parts to go from 180 to 203mm on the Rover were damn cheap so I thought I would experiment. Got a $14 rotor and $10 bracket from Amazon, and threw them on. It required a trip to the local fastener store to source a couple of 6X1.0 X 20mm cap screws too.
I thought the difference would be more dramatic, but there is an improvement. I guess my next step for brake lust is to switch out the front for hydraulic maybe. Here is a before, a comparison, and after shot.
