What brakes should i put on my erst?

I am gonna be running about 280bhp.

What brakes should i go for? Cossy conversion? Willwood? Some help please.

Jim

 

it totally depends on what you want to spend,i would use 4 pots up front and cossy conversion at back , but thats just what i would do.....

 

Ive done the rears.

I dont have mega money to spend any ideas?

Jim

 

st170 conversion up front is an idea on a buget, stops well with 300mm discs...

but obviously a big 4pot wilwood or AP kit would be better.

whatever you can stretch to really, worth the expense IMO though.

 

Where did u get your st170 brake conversion from?

Jim

 

If you are going to run 280 bhp I'd definitely get a set of decent brakes.
Go for some 4 pots with 330mm discs.

 

don't have them personally, but loads of sets about, few on here.

but IMO probably best to wait a while a get a beefier kit as people have said.

 

It depends really on how much you want to spend, and what route you go. Building a 280bhp engine isn't easy, so I would imagine you would need a long break after that.

You could go for a week, or 2 weeks. I wouldn't really bother with a weekend break because it will be over too soon. Yeah, yeah definately go for a longer break and relax.


That's my advice

 

brilliant

 

OMFG Tony.

That was the funniest thing I have read in ages.

 

piss taker

 

that is stupidly funny

 

What size wheels do you run ?

 

Thats Quality

 

Tony,

OMG, your funny as fuck mate

Gonna need more than two weeks mate... This car is taking the piss big time.

(Breaks) knob!

we all make fuck ups now and then

Has anyone got any ideas apart from tony I need to get this sorted.

Jim

 

 

Sorry Jim


If you don't want to spend alot I would go for a 2wd Cosworth Disc conversion with S2 calipers. As long as your calipers are in good condition this set up is very good, especially with your rear discs.

I had this set up on my car and a mate who used to own a 360bhp 4x4 Saph said my brakes were as good as his AP 330's.

It is a good, cheap, yet effective set- up. Like I said, providing your calipers are good you are looking at £50 for brackets and £100 for decent discs, I'd recommend Pagid 8 groove.

Brackets can be bought from Mike Rainbird. I don't get commission
