Use 110 calipers on your discs,much better braking from larger pistons and pads.They bolt straight on but are only single line unlike the rangies.

Yep.
Defender calipers with 46mm pistons bolt on. You do need to replumb the lines to singles.

You can swap vented rotors onto any coil sprung front axle. Bigger brake calipers come in two widths to suit solid or vented. I went for vented. Got calipers from paddocks, got rotors locally.

I bought a kit ages ago. It has vented discs and a spacer you put in the caliper to suit the extra width.

Been on for a few years now with no problems .

Got the kit off flea bay I think

Piston area?
RRC, disco and some defender/counties are 41.3mm pistons.. There's only a certain range of model codes which use the 46mm pistons.
