I just got Wilwoods 4 pot to be done with it (from Rally Design). While a bit more expensive than the previous they also tried & tested for power I wanted to run, now and future...

yeah it was only one that hit the track rod end, not the brakes fault more down to a bent track rod end.

 

unlike you to get the facts wrong

[Guest MK1gaz]

The trackrod end is always in the same place as it bolts into the strut , it can't move so the disc will still hit weither it's bent , straight , etc etc . They don't fit without spacing the discs out with washers so my facts are correct as usual

still doesnt aswer why only side hit

and that everyone that has looked at it has said that the arm thing off the strut is bent hence why it was hitting.

 

if it was the brakes they would hit both sides and on every single car but they dont

 

only on cars with bent arm thing from the strut to the track rod

 

and the disc wernt spaced out at all so as usual your facts are fudged

[Guest MK1gaz]

They didn't fit though did they (mind you what does these days ?) and the discs are about 1mm from the track rod ends !!!!!!!!

i had 2,8 calipers they where crap and princes caplipers rebuilt very heavy and crap got hi spec set up real good but its all a question of money

[Guest MK1gaz]

Yes that's true . The A.P. kits cost the most and everything else just gets worse + worse with the less money you spend !!!!!!!

thats true of most things in life

thats true of most things in life

especially with women !!!!!!!! Amazing how the quality of the ladies improves if they think you've got some money. I was in greece on holiday and some girls thought i was some manchester city footballer , had them chasing me all over the island for 2 weeks !!!!!!!!

There is also the old Track cheat ...

 

Get some new calipers for a 2.8i Granada mk2 .. a small spacer to centralise on a 2.8i capri disc EBC greens and there you have it .. what looks like an M16 caliper and a bigger pad surface ... bigger pads more gripping ..

 

Dan .. the one with the Red rs2000 mk5 engined car had this kit on his car, his words " nearly went through the screen, there the beesknees"

went over to 15" wheels and had the huge Volvo discs and Princess 4 pots fitted and his words .."Crap"

 

And many a race car has improved the brakes with this when the rules say standard calipers must be retained, on those cars we just took the spacers out for the vents ..

 

And its what i fit to the Jensen Healey conversions i do ..

 

This car uses them

 

and this car did till we arched it and then used the Willwood 310 discs and 6 pots

and this car runs a 250bhp 2.2 Lotus 912 engine

They did with spacers... But hey I'm happy with spacers...
