Is there any good rear caliper upgrade for the t5 both my rears have snapped nipples ive got 4 pots on the front could do 4 pots on the back but any easier bolt on calipers for the back on standard discs?

s60r, dunno if the discs are the same size but plenty of people have done it
Are they a direct fit then?
no but you can get adaptors to bolt them on
[quote=p fandango;495136]no but you can get adaptors to bolt them on[/quote] Where from mate ipd?
whats the point since its only 25% of the braking that goes to the rears?
25% that could be the difference between life and death lol

Ive found some brand new original t5 calipers for sale £140 so might go with them looking at a few hundred quid for the bigger rear callipers dont think ill bother. Thanks for the help evry1
