On the front I've gone for AP5200 4pot calipers with 330mm disks & DS2500 pads, on the rear I've got brand new standard calipers & pads with 330mm disks. Braided hoses through out & SRF fluid.

Ive got AP 355 6 pot kit on the front with std new calipers and 300mm disks on the back it did have hi-spec 4 pot handbrake calipers on the back but they were far too much for the rear without fitting a bias valve imo & the handbrake mec part of them is terrible wouldnt even hold the car.

I'm sure you can get a kit from Reyland that enables you to run 4pots on the rear & keep the standard caliper for the handbrake.

I've got AP 6 pots with 362mm rotors on the front and 300m on the rear.

vinnya77 · 05-10-2009, 06:01 PM

Have you had to fit a bias valve Dunc??

Dunccoss · 05-10-2009, 11:14 PM

no mate just the standard one fitted and all is well but some do fit them and if the car was to be used hard on track then i might allso fit one but as for now i havent needed one and i do use the brakes hard

YBT200 · 06-10-2009, 08:47 AM

is the caliper the one from wilwood , because wilwood has something very near to it.

YBT200 · 06-10-2009, 08:56 AM

is there any other brand of brakes who does the rear brake caliper like hi-spec with handbrake ?

Paul_RS · 06-10-2009, 02:17 PM

Reyland mods the standard rear calipers to fit over AP discs. Means they only work from the cable allowing the APs to do all the breaking.

YBT200 · 14-10-2009, 07:56 AM

anyone has a picture of the reyland conversion please
