Looking for a front and get caliper and disc upgrade set

Instead of running around chasing bits around the world is there a kit from one supplier that will upgrade the lot?

Revolutionbrake.com sells the front. Then get st205 rears. Rocketeer used to sell front and rear kits but they are no longer available.
If you really want to ball out AP racing makes a front kit but it's around 4k$!!!

Ok after a few hours of reading
I'll be using 205 rear set however I noticed that people are cutting up cans to use as a locating ring as the centre bore is larger on the 205 disc

Does any one make a proper locating ring to mount the 205 disc in the 185?
Usinfa cut up can feels a bit scary

I could get one made if possible? :shrug:

It would be difficult to get machined as it's 0.9mm difference. The best solution is either a complete ST205 rear subframe(this also increases track width by 25-30mm eliminating the need for spacers) or using just 205 wheel hubs. 185 hub is 54.1 and the 205 is 55mm.

Are the hubs a pain to install?
Any custom work needed?
The rear frames a good idea but I already ordered my rims so I could avoid spacers


205s are extremely rare in Australia
I have seen one in my life

Hubs are not terribly difficult to install but I am a master mechanic with 13 years experience so there is not much that is anymore lol! It will require removing the rear spindles and then pressing out the hub. This can be exacerbated by excessive corrosion. It's basically like doing rear wheel bearings as the hub presses into the bearing. Can you order 205 hubs from the dealer in Australia?

I should take a look on the way home from work and ask them
Would I need the205 handbrake set up as well? Or can I regal the185 e brake set up ?

Caldina st215 rear hubs can also be used as they are the same as st205 hubs. I used the st215 rear hubs on my car

Thanks for the info

However these are even more rare over here

actually the point being was that if you are ordering via part numbers, you have two options to find parts around the world for, not just the st205.

As for changing them, you need to use a hydraulic press - would probably pay to change your bearings at the same time. Bearings are the same as the front.

Check out ksport UK. They make front and rear kits. I have their front 6 pot kit. It bolted on but needed some adjusting to make it fit perfectly.

Lol fooling around in the garage an found some alloy hub ring for some old wheels I had

Looking at them the have a 54.1 internal diameter and 60 something outer diameter

It propably won't work but I'll pop over to my mates place and see if he can shove them on his machine and bring them down to 55mm outer diameter which is dead accurate
