    The main reason why I love the brake upgrade is that its cheap, effective and a real DIY mod. Interchanging parts between models without the need for further modification is something that is done all the time in australia, usually betwen datsuns/nissans models..

    So its good to hear its possible to do mods like this for the jazz. I wonder if there is anything else that is swapable..

    Bigger Rotor

    So you have changed just the rotor to a bigger one.

    Not just a bigger rotor; bigger caliper too.

    Hmmm...

    1. K20 engine swap
    2. DC5 interior front dash
    3. DC5 front & rear brakes
    4. DC2 front & rear brakes
    5. EK & EG brakes
    6. Stream 1.7 engine swap
    7. Fit 1.5 VTEC / 1.5 iDSI engine swap etc

    Many things can be swapped. How extreme are you?
    I see our car (Fit/Jazz), like a "LEGO' toy.. Kekeke.. so many things can be swapable!!

    Have read in other fourm that you can just change the rotor to a bigger one.The simpler alternative is to upgrade/upsize the rotor but use back the original caliper - this is a simple 30mins bolt-on job and its totally reversible.

    Add on a pair of good pads and braking is increased easily by 50% (serious as my frds have tested too).

    Add on a good set of steel braided hoses and braking feel - very concise and responsive.

    Cost - ard S$500 (for rotor & pads)

    YUp, I know where u read that from; FJC Forum @ Singapore.

    I too considered this way, but u think abt it; S$500 for a swap to a larger rotor, but still using back the original caliper. Gotta top up another S$100+ for better brake pads.

    Look @ my set-up; spent S$700, and I've got a bigger caliper , brand new EG rotors , DON brake pads (brand new too!) ..

    Which is a better deal?

    Should be possible; engine configuration + gearbox quite similiar!
    Better to check with your mech/local garage, bro.
