Default RST brakes on a 1.3?

Hi guys just want some advice please. Ive currently got a mk4 1.3 popular rst look-a-like. I Think the brakes are on the way out so I was woundering if RST disks and calipers would fit? Would they bolt on or would brackets/spacers be needed and would I feel much difference (does the servo need changing or is that Irrelevant?). What should I look for when buying (probably second hand) disks/calipers?

Thanks very much

Colin

They fit directly with no spacers. The standard main cylinder and servo will be fine.

if your buying second hand disk's make sure there is no lip on the edge of the disk as it's an mot fail if theres to much of a lip and check the seals on the calipers to see if there split
