I have just been payed and was thinking about some brake upgrade. Mark said the calipers are the week point, so is there any point staying standard and getting some replacements? Mine have done 140,000 miles now. Does it sound like i need new ones?
If so do i upgrade and if so what too?
The way i see it if you knock the braking zone down you save a shed load of time round a track pretty inexpensively.
Cheers :D

Shouldn't do danny as it's not a power upgrade. If anything you should argue a saving!

You can see the kits on rallydesign.co.uk KS. When I upgrade I'll be going Wilwood route I reckon.

Prices coming very soon . Within next week or two at the very latest . The kits will also be considerably cheaper* than the Rally Design ones . :D
*Cheaper, as in better value , not worse quality . For those that think the more they spend the better something is.
