Possible cheap brake upgrade?

[interloper393]

Just a thought.. have a evo 5 sitting in ma drive with standard massive brembo calipers.. seen a few sets on evo forums going for £100ish, would make anice upgrade for a rex, and beleave me there fecking awsome for stopping

Will see the costs involved once i get ma rex project going cus i found ma rex brakes rather crap...:Grrr

in my opinion i would change your discs and pads.

I use FD calipers with hawk pads and BMW M5 discs which are huge, (330 x30) my brakes are fantastic, i have never faded them on any trackday and my car is heavier than an FD. They feel great and the servo is set up for that size of caliper and pads are easy to get hold of.

I dont think that you will notice much difference by just changing callipers and nothing else.

Thats from my experience
