Im sure some people on here have these? Are they much better than standard valver brakes? Do I need custom brackets made up or will the 21 turbo brackets fit? If not how much would the brackets cost?

I have em and they are far better than the standard valver units. They are much bigger for a start and the disc is a 21 TXI 285mm disc. You need brackets and they could cost anywhere from 50-100 i reckon. I got mine for £35 off a friend though.

I can get 21 turbo calipers cheap though, the wilwoods would be £50 each plus pads/discs/brackets which is defo cheap but more than I can afford!

Do I just go to a forge/iron works with the diagram and ask them to make up the brackets?

how much are renault 21 turbo calipers. new or used. still need pads renault 21 discs brackets hoses. might be cheaper to get brackets made up as part of the group buy and save for the calipers etc. plus there new proper four pots

any good machinists could make the brackets.

Maxiboy, what size discs are the wilwood calipers for?
