Hi All,
Just a quick question. What is meant by 160ps when refering to Rover brake calipers etc?

regards

Hi Mike, the 160 ps calipers are for the mgzr 160 (160ps) models of car and must be used in conjunction with the 282 vented front discs and 262 rear discs!

Basically the 160 calipers are for bigger discs, the standard calipers are from the normal rover 25's 262 fronts and 240 rears

Hi Mike.

There was a Rover model ZR160 (160PS engine power). A 200 bubble derivitive. It might be from this.

Edit:

Opps Craig got there first!
