Twinpot st185 calipers and Corsa c discs I have here, I've been told they worked very well round our local track by starlet legends
Can you give me a list and price of what I'd need to do this?
Stock brakes in good condition should be plenty good enough for street. Stick some uprated pads in if your running more power than stock.
Good condition calipers and making sure they are well bled with fresh fluid will make a big difference.
Another thing to consider is tyres. If they sent great or at the correct pressure, you could have the best brake in the world but your tyre grip will let you down and increase your stopping distance dramatically..
I have st185 calipers on one of mine and they are fine. It's a good cheapish upgrade.
I was contemplating trying out some ferodo ds2500 pads? I had mintex discs and pads on my old GT and found them to be pretty dyer.
I'm running uniroyal Rainsports - due to the constant crap weather up North - which have always seemed spot. What psi do you run Duncan?
The rear calipers were stripped and rebuilt not so long with new fluid.But tbh, the fronts haven't been touched for a good while. Could be an idea to strip them down, give them a clean and fit new discs and uprated pads in the first instance. Or would you go straight for the st185 upgrade?
100% recommended ebc grooved discs combined with yellowstuff pads.
As mentioned above calipers are in good condition with good set of tyres and another important thing if ur running coilovers, the camber adjustment plays a big role when breaking trust me av been there shocking
Do you use that setup for street Fiz? I remember a few of the guys on Ukstarlet Forum, back in the day saying that the drilled and grove discs we'rent the best as they to crack after a few heat cycles?
lol its scary ain't it when that happens
.It was some crazy guy in a new golf that cut me up and I missed hitting him by inches literally
The cars had a full geo setup with everything dailed in and handles really well. Just find that the brakes aren't the best imo.
