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???

 

u will be ok running 14's with frst brakes...... if ur worried about handeling mate!

 

i think the spax or koni suspension kits ok for them

 

when i bought the car it had gaz shocks all round but the fronts were fucked, the back ones are fine and are still on the car so they can stay

are the frst brakes any good???

 

i've never had a problem with mine

 

Frst brakes are good yes just get some decent pads and discs

 

and i take it they fit on with no mods needed

 

i'm not sure on that one mate cause they do come with ABS ! !

 

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

 

ok guy thanks i`ll look into it

what about the rear brakes could something be done about them do you know???

 

You could carry out a rear disc conversion if you want

 

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

 

just change the flexy hoses for stainless jobbies and make sure their adjusted and you should be fine
