is it essential to have rear disks inorder to have a decent braking system???? can i fit 4 pots on my series 2 and keep the drums on the rear???? do you think this would be o.k or i have to put disks at the rear to get decent braking improvement???

 

it would be ok to fit 4 pots on front and leave drums on rear as u still maintain more braking efficiency on the front!!!!!!

 

cheers for your reply, thats exactly what i thought but wanted to get further opinions before i spent a great deal.
thanks again mate

 

Most weight is at the front of your car...so brake balance would need to be more towards the front then the rears.

 

thanks again, i think its gona be some brackets from the animals at zoo and some focus rs disks with brembo calipers

 

would you not need a bias valve for 4 pots?

 

i aint sure, would I????? I assumed that i would just buy the zoo brackets and the focus rs disks with calipers and with a bit of messing about just fit em. Maybe it is going to be more sinister than i previously thought, someone who has done the brembo conversion, your advice would be much appreciated.

 

not sure mate,thats why i asked
just thought that puttin monster brakes on the front and not touchin the rears is gonna upset the brake balance,not too sure if the rear load compensators would rectify this themselves
i know that ive fitted 4 pots and rear discs and i need a bias valve as the back end locks up on light braking

 

thats why i dont want disks on the back coz i have heard they are more hassel then they are worth. I am sure fitting the 4 pots up front will do just fine, when you fit disks on the rear you do have to fit bias valves thats why i am trying to avoid that route.
