My kit car is currently running on standard OEM brakes.

At the front I've got Ford Capri calipers and at the rear Ford Sierra single pot handbrake calipers.
The master cylinder is a tandem type I'm not sure of the bores but it is not servo assisted.

Since the car only weighs in at 475kgs the brakes are pretty good on the black diamond discs and ferrodo pads. The downside is the look crap and have got to go.

I'm aware of so far HiSpec and Wilwood calipers. My budget is ok but not in the world of Brembo.

What are my options? should I go for 4 pots or 2 pots for the front (in the case of the hispecs)?

opinions please?

I've got Wilwoods. Dust seals are only really needed if you're doing a lot of "off roading".
