Brake upgrade

[scotsprint]

I see that SPRINTPARTS in Australia are now doing a ventilated disc/ sliding calliper conversion for about the £300 mark. The kit is "bolt on" with no modifications needed and I think from their illustrations that it is based on VW parts. Worth a look!

Hasn't Garth (speedrace) fitted one of these kits?<br>

Looking at most of Sprintparts stock its bound to be decent.

Featherweight 1974 Dolomite Sprint - Soon to be XE'd, NOS'd, Megasquirted and 5 linked Lash up to scare myself (and my wallet) senseless<br>
<br>
2004 Smart Roadster (company car!!) - 698cc of turbo'd adrenaline fuelled rollerskate - destined to classic status thanks to Daimler Chrysler bean counters.<br>
<br>
1997 Audi A4 2.6 to chill out after the above and fill with baby products.....<br>
<br>
2005 Trek 1400 (ok its not a car but still fast) - <br>
a bit like Lance Armstrong but slower and fatter</p><i></i>

They certainly do the job - comes with a custom bracket which goes round the back of a standard hub and the caliper ends up on the leading edge of the rotor.<br>

Took a little while to get used to driving the car with them on, found myself having basically stopped prior to the corner i was approaching and needing to accelerate again just to get there! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
