whats gonna haul me up better ?

[Messenjah]

hi guys,

 

next on my list for the capri is upgrading the brakes (well after i get all the interior back in )

 

but i dont know whats gonna stop me better i dont have a big budget but the price just changes how long ittl take till i upgrade as im starting from £0 and have no job atm its gonna take me a whil ebefore i can afford an upgrade at all BUT whats gonna stop it better

 

m16 callipers with some good quality pads with drilled and grooved vented discs braided hoses and dot5.1 fluid (with new shoes and drums on the back)

 

a wilwood 4 pot calliper kit from ral des with solid discs and fast road pads and the braided hoses and dot5.1 fluid ..

like this one http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/pr ... s_id=10502

 

 

i dont really know which one to go for its a pinto capper rather thne a v6 if thats gonna make alot of difference

Mate I deffo wouldnt use 5.1 for everday use as its a (correct me if im wrong) synthetic fluid. OK its good for go karts and fast track use were your brakes are constantly under load. But it dosnt absorb moisture!

 

If you use 5.1 and dont change the fluid and flush your lines out properly you get a build up of water in your lines and they could corrode from the inside out or it could build up in your calipers!

stick with the 4.1 mate as you are just using it for every day and occasional track action you dont need 5.1.

Cheap brake upgrade, Capri Vents and Mk2 Granada vented calipers, should all bolt together and give you more pad swept area, pistons are the same size so there is no need to upgrade the master cyl.

Drilled grooved and vented will not improve your braking capabality, only their resistance to fade, but a good set of Pads will

i was going to say get a set of 2.8 legs under there but ian's advice sounds good
