16v brake conversion on an RT...

[number2301]

I was looking into doing the 16v brake conversion and I was hoping someone on here who has done it could tell me exactly what I need and how much the bits would cost. So I know about calipers, discs, pads, but Ive been told I may need new master cylinders, new back plates, the back brakes might need some new stuff to balance it as well? As well as new hoses and all that?

So like I say, can anyone who has actually done it to an RT please tell me exactly what I need and how much it would cost

DO a search and youll find everything you need to know.

But basically, they bolts traight on, the calipers, discs, but you also need the bolts from the 16V. And no need for the master cylinder.

If you keep the drums, no need ot worry about brake balance.

just check piston sizes in calipers arnt too much different it could cause long pedal travel.
