S1 brake conversion
Looking into converting the stoppers on the old girl. Car has S2 discs and calipers at the mo and the original drums on the back but are nowhere near good enough. I have been told 2wd saph discs and calipers are the way to go and fit behind standard rims, however this is'nt a problem cos i have 17 inch bk 299's on at the moment . Would it be best to do all round or would the front be ok. Don't want it to lock up or anything that. Don't wanna spend shit loads on a set of brakes, i just wanna know a good value way to stop the fooking thing quickly. 
What would you guys suggest ?

2wd discs and calipers wont fit behind standard rims cos they are 4 pots, 4wd calipers with 2wd discs will. Theres many options for the front.....
As for the rear, i'd probably suggest standard series 2 drums if you can get your hands on some

Have to agree with Alex_86:

If I were to do it again tho, I wouldn't go for the ferodo pads, I'd try mintex. My Ferodo ones squeel like a load of pigs when cold, not a good image on the work run!!!!
