   hi all..
   i have a saxo 1.4 with 247mm brakes and i want to upgrade putting the berlingo discs (266mm).
   my question is what else will i have to change? do i have to buy berlingo's brake pads too and caliper?
   thanks

   Yes wil need the correct pads, disks and calipers
   
   Also recommended to fit custom brake lines that are longer

   Well if you don't fit the larger caliper the one on the car won't fit over it and the pads won't fit in the caliper
   
   If you take the chance if usuing standees brake hoses they can be pulled and stretched when turning or the suspension is moving and over time they will fail
