Wilwood or Hi-Spec four pots?

[MK II Mark]

I'm gonna upgrade my brakes, my car runs 13inch rims what four pots do most people think are the best. I don't want princess calipers , I have two hundred quid to spend, any suggestions?

ive got willwood i think they do the job and are a good price,hi specs look very nice i must say,if you have lots of time to wait

200 quid wont stretch far, but wilwood dynalites are pretty good, i'm running mine on them, only thing is they aint built for day to day use and aint got seals so can corrode if not looked after, hi-spec is expensive but you get excellent quality! dunno if that helps?

Does that mean I need more money

[Wessie]

means they usually cost quite abit thats just a picture of posse's desk

well your gonna need new discs, vented and you'll need wilwoods own pads to fit the calipers, it aint cheap, you'l also need new brasided hoses withe the correct fitment into the caliper, they're yankee so need a 1501 male adapter. i know this coz been on phone to rally design today!

Do you have capri front legs on your escy??? if you do Caprisport do a 13"wheel four pot upgrade for £265(which includes your membership fee of £14) they use a 260mm dia vented disc, and granada 4 pot calipers with brackets.

Ive looked into this myself as I'm running a 2.8 brake set up and IMO its just not good enough. I priced up from HI-Spec the equivalent set up and it was £550, allright its alloy and shiny, but thats not important to me. You pays your money and you makes your choice

When i asked caprisport about this they said they discontinued it 'cause there wasn't enough clearance inside a 13" wheel

I think I'm gonna save up for the Willwood midilite caliper kit

 

Four hundred notes in total, ah well as you said you pays your money and you make a choice etc

Thats odd!!! I spoke to Neil last thursday and he never mentioned it, Ive placed the order with him and Ive sent my hubs off to be re-faced. He even said they were doing another members hubs for the same kit this week too.
