Default Biggest Discs?

Any idea what the biggest discs i can get on a 98 uk turbo (2pot) scooby are? They are standard front and rear but i want the biggest discs possible under them. I was going for some 4 pots but missed out on them so i've got to make to with what i've got.

Advice on the best discs and pads to get would also be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, the biggest will be OE without replacing your calipers. When you fit larger diameter discs you need to push the caliper away from the hub to accomodate them. Only kit I know of that uses OE calipers is the Godspeed one. Even then, that's only for 4-pots or Godspeeds own calipers.

Bigger discs usually mean thicker discs, so the caliper needs to be modified using a spacer and again, the only only one I know of is Godspeeds 4-pot kit.

Your best solution is either a 4-pot upgrade, with the slightly larger OE disc OR Godspeeds 4-pot upgrade OR a complete 4-pot kit from the likes of AP Racing.
