Brake upgrades
Brake upgrades
Hey people
Just went for a spin in a friends car and after having a drive in it I realised how bad single pot brakes are (compared to his 4 pots).
What upgrades/options are there for our cars and what would I expect to pay? Have any of you bothered to re-do your brake setups?
It doesn't look to complicated to replace the old setup, but from what I hear you can pay a bit for high performance brakes.

I hear you can use the Pajero master cylinder.StazzyBabyYeah wrote: can I get away with using a standard starion master cylinder?
I dont have facts for pricing, but I do know that due to my preception of costs, Id rather do 50 other things first.

for any kind of serious front brake upgrade, using new parts,
factor on spending a minimum of $1200, and probably more like $1500.
but, if you like track days, you will LOVE the difference :D :D :D
the bigger master cylinder is a good idea, as the 4 pots require a lot more fluid to be moved, hense, less peddle travel.
why try and re-invent the wheel, its all been done and proved, just follow the instructions.
easy.
