16V brake conversion

[ajketley]

Ive got a 1.2mk1 and going to put 16v brakes on it. Am I right in thinking its just calipers, disks and pads that need doing? Also where can I get a cheap set of braided brake lines.

Cheers

Adam

[ajketley]

[ajketley]

Just calipers+carriers, disks and pads (been listening to everyone on the thread helping me! lol

 

[jonesyx]

the standard brakes truly are piss poor, been thinking about it for ages!

 

[jonesyx]

what other brakes would fit? r19, also is there a differnce between rsi and valver brakes?

 

[Djw Dave]

Yes there is a diffrence between Rsi and valver ones. TBH i would just go for the valver ones. I thought about going for 172 brakes but it was far too much hassle!



Oh you need calipers, carriers, new discs and pads, and the bolts as well (if poss)

hehe beat you to it :approve: lol

The difference between the valver and rsi ones are that the rsi disks have a smaller diameter. Thats why im going for valver, for FCS Track!

 

[jonesyx]

should i buy brand new pads and discs and just source a second hand set of calipers?

Nice

i wish i could do some Fcs tracktime, but its too much of a chance to take if the cars not ready

 

[ajketley]

If you think itll be ready put your name down! I guess youll need time to get used to it and it set up? Itll be my first time on track so being a 1.2 ill get passed quite a number of times lol

It's a might be ready in time. It should be but it will still be getting set up suspension etc, and the fact that its like a 6hour drive back to where i live form Fcs, so if somrthings not right i dont really wnat it to break there!
