Keep with stock.

Yozzasport do a whole kit for £175 I think you cna get it cheaper if you shop round though a bit.

no need to "uprate" the rears ESPECIALLY on a cup! you'll just be wasting money IMO

Agreed. The rear brakes do a lot less work than the fronts! spend your money on them!

the back brakes do nothing. may aswell be there just to fill the hole in the middle of the wheel

so would you just recommend getting the standard ones again? what about pads? any benefit in getting uprated pads for the rear?

Stock pads and stock disks the rears do nothing anyway and on a CUp they do even less again.

None at all, My rear brakes (on 172 cup) are doing 6% of the overall braking so wouldnt make any difference, except to your wallet!

ever set fire to a 50pound note?

how's that for an answer??

rear i'd leave 100% stock, we run stock rear on a 230plus bhp track car (172 cup)


172 cups rear brakes hardly work, jack the rear of the car up and get someone to press the pedal, i bet you'll be able to stll turn the rear wheels by hand

just for the benifit of the handbrake i think, thats about it.
