Default xr2 help

I need some help on a couple of thing on my xr2, i want to track the car and its soon to be tuned around the 135bhp mark but i would like to run bigger brakes(rsturbo) but then i`d need to have 15ins rims to go over the brakes, would the car still handle as good as it does now on 15`s???

what suspension do you use on your fast road/track xr`s???

Should do as the ERST brakes fit or fit the RS2000 brakes instead the abs is only a sensor

yeah i could but would it be an over kill??? what about just using bigger drums like the rst??? to be honest th car would probably be good enough with just uprated fronts but its something to look into i guess


it looks like i have found some cheap front erst brakes so 15`s it will be
