This is where you find the best of the best. Super wide 10s is the only way forward I think. :cool:

Have you got the brake set up needed?

[bankxi]

not yet i havnt got the car yet i pick it up wednesday and then im ordering a cooper s hub and then 4 pot calipers from mini speed and some uprated disks and pads

[Oldskoolbaby]

If your going for the 4pots, why dont you go the whole hog and fit turned down vented disks. It shouldnt be much more in the cost stakes and you shoulnt ever really find out what fade is with them on. Mine have been drilled and Ive had them glowing cherry red before but that can get the heart pumping when entering corners at speed.

how much will i be looking for that set up? thanks for all of this help mate

[Oldskoolbaby]

Depends how you want to go about it. Id get a set of drive flanges off of a metro down the scrapy as they take nothing to tidy up yourself, and then fit a new set of discs. I suppose your looking at £20 for the flanges and say 180 for both disks. You can get them drilled etc but im not sure how much itll be be with them. Ive got Cooper S running gear (solid disks) and they work well but with a serious engine Ill definatly be upgrading to metro/turbo disks.

well ill get myself down 2 scrappy on friday see what i can pick up and then order some vented and grooved and drilled disks. then i still need some minisport 4 pot calipors right or shall i get some of them of the metro aswell?

[Oldskoolbaby]

Make sure you take the flanges from a metro with 4pots if your gunna do that. :grin:
Standard metro calipers wont fit. They are slightly bigger than the minisport callipers. If you order the callipers remember to specify theyll be used on vented disks.

that sounds alot beta as i can take the full unit off a metro and then get that conversion pipe thing lol sound pritty easy to do

[Oldskoolbaby]

lol, I just remembered you cant fit 10s with them and edited my post. Sorry mate.

[bankxi]

kk lol well advise me on a set up i can fit under 10's pleaseeee lol

[Oldskoolbaby]

Right, if I was you, Id go for Metro drive flanges, turned down metro/turbo disks and a pair of aftermarket vented 4pot alloy callipers. This way your gunna stop regerdless of whats under the bonnet and how many times you use them.

As for pads id go for EBC Greenstuff, as I had carbon ones once and they were thernominal when hot but crud when cold. Greenstuff gives you a nice mix between light town work and fast road blasts.
