Default Good brakes & 13" Rims

1st on my shopping list for the RS is good brakes and an LSD..

Got 8x13's on at the mo which sit and hold well enuf, but obviously limit disc and caliper size.. Ive seen some AP 10" discs and 4pots...

Any views or suggestions, obviously theyl be better than std, but to what degree at that price!

yeah sum1 sed princess but thats more classicford mag than "i wanna beast ma car"

Most of the rallying escorts ive seen or ppl i know with em are runnin 6x13 revo's with 4pots and say theres are fine

i looked at brakes under 13's 1st as wen i saw ap's i thought they'd be pretty decent or atleats a 3rd betta than std.. am i wrong in asuming that and betta off puttin 8x15s under before considering spend a loof on brakes??
