Just thought I'd let you guys know I've sent an Email to these guys to see if they can supply the awd/ralliart twin spot front calipers and discs as an upgrade kit.
Will update when I get more info.

I spoke to these guys months ago about upgrading the brakes on my magna, and they didn't want to know me....... :nuts: Obviously didn't speak to the right person.

I'm keen on knowing if they can source some upgraded parts for the rear of a 2wd Magna. Preferably something with a ventilated rotor of a larger diameter.

Quick response from Peter at Hopper Stoppers I'll give em 10 outa 10 for that.
Unfortunately due to the calipers being jap sourced he can't help :cry: .
I thought the response was very informative so here's a copy of the response.

Re Magna Brakes. Getting the twin spot calipers will be the problem

I have previously checked with PBR in case they were involved in the Twin
piston caliper supply but it appears these were imported by Mitsubishi from
Japan for the AWD cars. In that case you can only talk to Mitsubishi Spare
Parts and see what they sell them for or look for some off a written off
car. The AWD rotors sell around $190 each for 4000 series slotted.

Standard front wheel drive rotors are 276 by 24. AWD front brakes are 294
by 24 , so apart from twin spot caliper are only 18mm bigger diameter and
same thickness.
This is really only a small improvement over stock.

The brakes we supplied for Jasons cars were 320 by 32 and needed 17 inch
wheels minimum, and he tells me thay worked great.

Best Regards
