Ok, I think my next mod will be BIG brakes. Not big but BIG. I found out that the stockers are not able to do their job properly at all and that was with some downhill mountain cruising. I had a set of 205 brakes which I have sold because I don't want to test / put months of work in it and nobody sells a proper adapter (I just haven't got the time or tools for it at home). Like with my clutch I think I'm going to invest into the future of my car. The weight will go down a bit in the future, and a built engine will come in some day. I however would like to do some trackdays (Holland is next to Germany and it's Ring, get my point?) in the near future so I decided a proper big brake kit is what I need.
I've did a search on this but I didn't find a topic all about big brakes, just pads and disks upgrades. It also seems like Rocketeers' Wilwood kit is the only big one used on here? I've read both positive and negative reviews on this site and others, plus a kit available in Europe will save me a lot of additional costs, so that would be nice.
As Griffin said in another topic, overkill isn't that bad when looking at brakes. I also like to play on the safe side of things and don't want to get another even bigger set later on if I decide to go crazy with a rebuild.
I'm looking at the monster 6 kit from Hispec: [click]
Or this nice kit from Tarox (6pot): [click]
And I've been talking to Pit Road M for a nice kit involving 4pot Outlaw calipers with 335mm discs (which they use themselves all around their track prepped RC) 8)
If anyone knows of other bolt on kits, please let me know. I'm currently looking and comparing, so if you have any input, please discuss 8)
Thanks, René.
