Brake Specifications - standard and upgraded

[Aedo]

This thread is in response to specification questions on the standard brakes. It will include standard specifications and as time permits upgrades and newer versions (and anyone who wants to add their specs please feel free to do so).


Brakes:
The standard brakes on the Elise/Exige are a cross drilled and ventilated iron disc.
Brake disc thickness
New = 26.0mm
Minimum service thickness = 24.0mm.

Runout
New maximum- 0.03mm
Service maximum - 0.10mm

Note: this is the correct figure (direct from Lotus UK) - there is a typo in the early versions of the service manual where it incorrectly states the service minimum as 24.9mm (the figure for the early S1 alloy discs).
