hello,

i know it will have covered before, but im sure there was a group buy on the brake kits, any chance of having another one?
and what kits are people using? ive a just over 500kg cec with 175bhp, vented or solid kits? i run stock m16 callipers with mintex pads, or should i keep my disk and just change the callipers to the wilwood ones that should be lighter

I wouldnt mind replacing my sierra units for wilwoods front and rear (with handbrake).
Far too expensive for a single purchase, so a group buy might save me some money??

In answer to the question above, i reckon the standard calipers are more than enough to stop 500Kg if they are clean and working efficiently. the trouble is (as i have got) when they start to corrode, and the pistons covered in crap, they get a bit lazy. You dont want brakes too efficient, or they will lock up every time you think about the brakes.

I'd be interested too

sounds good 3 so far,

how much weight differnce is there between normal m16 callipers and wilwoods?

I'd be interested, depending on the level of discount.

I'd be looking for powerlite kit for sierra uprights

Any idea what the level of performance increase will be over using metro 4 pots?

Brake power wise I would guess not loads depending on an appropriate master cylinder for each, however a nice decrease in unsprung weight

I organised a group buy on powerlite kits with Rally Design a few months ago. Very easy to set up, they were offering about 20% discount even for small groups of 3+. The guy I dealt with was called Scott, very helpful chap.
