To wilwood or not to wilwood?

Postby mazie » Wed Nov 03, 2010 4:58 pm

I've currently got 2.0 sierra vented discs on the front of my fury, now with track days planned and general road use would it be worth the £350 I'll have to pay rally design for a powerlite kit?
The rears are 240mm drums and seem to work just fine .
Opinions greatly appreciated before I shell out .

The top five things I think transformed my Stylus after the "honeymoon period" were:-
(in no particular order)

1. Setting the front end geometry up properly.
2. Front brakes - I went Hi-Spec (and have been happy so far)
2. Quick Steering Rack
3. LSD - Quaife ATB
4. Quality Boots - Toyo 888s

I started with solid disc escort brakes though...

Before you spend out on a caliper upgrade, you might be better off getting some decent brake pads - will be a lot cheaper at £40-50 for mintex or similar.
