Bought the disc's and calipers second hand and fabricated some brackets to suit the car, fairly easy job really but the disc's and calipers cost a fortune!

Do you find the balance is out Adam?

How can it not be out?

[skinthespin]

The only way it couldnt be out is if you up sized the discs front and rear the same ratio and the pistons on the front 4 - pots were of the same displacement as the 2 pot standard calipers, all of which is possible.

Yeh, the balance is out on the car very front heavy. I have a brake balance kit I want to fit along with rev 3 brake master cylinders.

If you can lock your wheels or cycle the ABS on the track then your brakes are fine. With a gen2+ set of brakes all I would add would be braided hoses, some decent dot 4 or 5.1 fluid and good pads like Mintex 1166s.

What you need to change is the OTHER friction point in the braking process. The tyres.

Which tyres are best for track?
